[Opinions] Re: Myfanwy
I am pretty sure that woman was called something else.Myfanwy doesn't sounds like "may-fanny". Thank god! I love Eilonwy and the W should be pronounced as well."May-fanny" is beyond awful it makes me think of a fanny, and well, May. It is really odd.Myfanwy should be mih-VAN-wee. A link is here: https://www.britishbabynames.com/blog/2014/04/welsh-diminutives.html (you can listen to it, scroll down to Myfi and read the entry).Myfanwy with the correct pronunciation is fine but not a favorite. I love Eilonwy.MAY-fanny is terrible.My guess is that she wasn't Welsh but a tourist and that her parents had tried to give her a Welsh name but mispronounced it? Or that she was Welsh but her parents didn't speak Welsh? Or maybe she had a very similar name?Maybe she was actually May-Fanny? Depending on how old she was Fanny could still have been a somewhat normal name when she was born. Or maybe you misheard it.Similar names that I can think of:May
May-Fanny (oh no)
Maryvonne (but this sounds really different)
Malvina
Maeve - this is sort of likely, maybe Maevie was her nickname or something?
Mayfair
