I don't like it very much - looks a bit outlandish.
But I have seen it before, and knew instinctively how to pronounce it.
I've just entered it into "search" on the home page of Ancestry.com, and loads appear! I didn't go past the home page, but DOBs were 1912-30-ish, and there were two in Wales (W. Glamorgan and Llanelli), the rest being English.
It sort of reminds me of a cross between the dreadful Australian old-time favourite Valda plus Vashti.
