HelpRe: Wdyt of Cymbeline?
in reply to a message by Beatrix
I know that it is a male name, but it does come across as feminine. I like the sound and meaning of it (plus the Shakespeare reference), but it's a little too frilly for a fn, in my personal opinion. On a girl, I'd use it as a mn.
For a boy, I think I'd go with other variants of it, like Belenus or Llywelyn, which have the same meaning, but sound more masculine. In both cases, I'd use them as middle names, as they aren't quite my taste for a fn.
However, my enjoyment of the name is mostly from the standpoint of it being a Shakespearean name. If that's the case, I'd simply find another name from one of Shakespeare's works that I preferred better.
