Help[Opinions] Llewyn or Llewellyn
Which name do you prefer? I like Llewyn for its simplicity, but Llewellyn is also gorgeous for a boy.
What middle names would you pair with them?

I prefer Llewellyn.
Llewellyn feels more balanced, but it also feels more feminine. I'd prefer Llewyn on a boy.
I prefer Llewellyn to Llewyn, perhaps because I'm more familiar with it. I also prefer Llewelyn to Llewellyn, probably for the same reason but also because the -ll- sound (to my knowledge) only happens at the beginning of the word, and the -l- in the middle signals the familiar -l- sound, not the Welsh -hl-.
I may have misspelled Llewellyn/ Llewelyn. It does make more sense that the two L's would only be at the beginning of the name.
I like the look of Llewyn best. With my mild dyslexia the longer version makes my eyes bounce around trying to figure out where the L's and E's are supposed to go. The longer flowing sound of Llewellyn makes it feel more feminine. The only downside for me as a Dutch person is that the sound of Llewyn is very close to our word for Lioness (Leeuwin) so it would feel like I'm calling a guy/boy 'lioness', but that's not a major issue.
