Well, I prefer Bronwen or Bronwyn by far to Branwen and Anwen. In fact, I love Bronwen and Bronwyn and really dislike Branwen and Anwen. Especially Anwen. Yuk. But I have a dilemma with the spelling Bronwen vs. Bronwyn. I really prefer how Bronwyn looks. Yet I know that Bronwen is more authentic. And I'm not the type to shrug that off. Yet Bronwyn looks better to me. What to do? I'd actually consider naming a daughter Bronwen or Bronwyn, and I'm not sure what I would decide if I were expecting a girl. Right now I'm leaning towards authenticity and Bronwen, but I think that whatever I would eventually decide I'd forever wonder if I should have used the other spelling.

Oh, I don't think the fact that your daughter has a similar sounding short-o syllable matters a whit.
