HelpAnwen
I've never thought much about this name, then I just saw some random person on Pinterest who apparently had named their daughter Anwyn (gahhh, but good try). Anyway, I thought about it and realized I really like the sound and think it's very sweet. It has a sort of light blue-white, innocent, housemaid thing going on.
Turned out it wasn't too hard to pair. I liked all of these
Anwen Blessing
Anwen Bridget
Anwen Dilys
Anwen Emily
Anwen Fenella - especially this one
Anwen Grace
Anwen Jane
Anwen Margaret
Anwen Philomena
Anwen Theresa
Anwen Violet
Thoughts on the name or the combos? Feel free to suggest other combos too!

Anwen is so lovely and sweet. My favorite of your combos is Anwen Violet (it's on my list too) but I also love Anwen Jane and very much like your Bridget, Grace and Margaret pairings. The others are also nice, though Dilys and Philomena are harder for me to warm to.
A few others from my list...
Anwen Joy
Anwen Lucy
Anwen Elise
Anwen Dorothy
Anwen Pearl

I think Anwen is beautiful! It fits into the short, simple and sweet category whose names I love! Also I think it would be a good way to get the nickname Annie, which I also love!
My favourite of your combos is Anwen Theresa and I like Anwen Margaret too. The only one I don't like is Anwen Blessing - Blessing is just too tacky and cheesy to me. Also any torchwood fanatics would know why Anwen Blessing is weird.

I knew an Annwen once, and it looks more finished with the extra N. I like it too.

I love Anwen. It's got such a soft, unexpectedly feminine vibe. Meaning it's not so obviously feminine as a name ending in -a, which makes it more interesting. It reminds me of woods and the ocean and I agree, soft blue. Also gold.

That's a lot of Anwens! I really like Anwen Fiona!

Anwen Blessing! Why have I not thought of Blessing for a middle name? I'll use all sorts of crazy things for MNs but this one never popped into my head...love it!

Yay, I'm glad someone likes that combo! I got the idea when I met someone online with a daughter named Ruth Blessing. I thought it made a beautiful middle name in just the right combo.

Ooh. For me, it's a soft, creamy shade of yellow, though I also feel the connection to innocence. In a word, I would describe it as pleasant. I think it's a little too soft for my own tastes, but it's still beautiful and bright! I would be happy to meet an Anwen at any age. I love the combos Anwen Philomena and Anwen Jane, as they complement each other well.
Also, I feel like I'm actually getting an olfactory response to this name. It smells like white lilies. Weird! Maybe it's something in the room that I just noticed, but I've never had that kind of association before. Usually I just get vivid imagery from sound.
As for the Anwyn spelling, I feel your pain. Non-namenerds will never understand this sorrow we share :p

That's cool. I don't often get smells from names either. Only a handful of them, excluding obvious ones (like Hyacinth smelling like hyacinth).

I like it too. And I agree that it's blue and white. Arwen is white and a little gold and green.
I like it, but I prefer Arwen.
Anwen Emily and Anwen Jade are really nice. I also like Anwen Jane, Anwen Violet and Anwen Margaret.
How about:
Anwen Eve
Anwen Elise
Anwen Elaine
Anwen Mae
Anwen Louise
Anwen Phoebe
Anwen Livia
