Re: Arwen or Eowyn?
in reply to a message by Daenerys
Gah! This is one is hard to decide upon. I'm going to go with Eowyn - but only just.
This is purely based on aesthetic reasons, because I love the sound, connotations, characters etc. of both equally. I like the look of Eowyn more, it's more balanced, and I seem to prefer names that have 'o' in them. Arwen looks aesthectially appealing too, it's more compact and sharp, and looks more conventional. I'm leaning towards the more un-conventional look of Eowyn.
That said, Arwen Gwendolen as a combo is superior to Eowyn Lyra imo. Eowyn is a tough one to pair with a mn.
