Help[Opinions] Re: Welsh names in the 2012 charts (girls)
in reply to a message by Frollein Gladys
I'd be fascinated to know how German parents might pronounce Myfanwy and Anwen. :)
No idea about celebs as I don't know who most of them are! - but like Megan and Seren, Anwen is short and simple, so I can see the possible appeal. Surprised by Myfanwy though. It's very old-fashioned in Wales, so much so that I can see it getting a revival at some point.

Well, as for Anwen - I figure people would use a "Germanized" pronunciation: AHNN-venn or something along those lines.
Myfanwy however... all bets are off, I'd say. I know how it should be or would be pronounced in Welsh, but I have no idea how a Myfanwy would fare in German everyday life, pronunciation-wise. So I'd love to hear the parents say her name ;)
And then I'd love to ask them where they found it in the first place ;)
