Help[Opinions] Re: Rhiannon, Anwen, Eirwen and Ceinwen (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
I like Rhiannon: it sounds convincing in English and is so much better than fake Rhianna.
Anwen pleases me, but reluctantly! I taught an Anwen once, but she always went by Anne because she said people (kids, no doubt) teased her unmercifully if she told them her real name. I found this very sad.
Eirwen is no doubt fine in its natural habitat, but in English it is perilously close to 'earworm'.
Ceinwen - that would be kine, as in cattle, + win. And that's what puts me off.

Huh, I didn't think of earworm. I thought it might be too close to Erwin though.

That, too!
