So here's my issue: I love, love, love the sound of this name. I think it sounds magical, classy, spunky and strong all at the same time. I also love the meaning. But I strongly dislike the way it looks. I have this weird aversion to names w/ 'w's in them. I hate the way they look! Like Tawny, love the sound hate the spelling and for that reason would never use it. Gwen is another one, as is Gwenyth. I thought about going the Guinevere route and using a spelling of Aruen but that looks insanely silly to me and I know will be mispronounced like crazy. :( That aside, going on sound only, I like:

Natalie Arwen
Marissa Arwen
Marinda Arwen (double 'a's too much?)
Kelsey Arwen
Isobel Arwen
