HelpRe: Angharad
in reply to a message by MariaNikolaievnaRomanova
I've loved the name Angharad since seeing the "Poldark" series in the 70's. One of the main actresses was named Angharad Rhys/Rees.
I worry that people here in the U.S. would be put off by the pronunciation. (By the way, which version of "How Green was My Valley" are you referring to? I've seen the John Ford 1940's version and it's very good. But I've been trying to find the BBC 70's series to no avail.) In whichever series you heard the name, are they pronouncing it "ann-HAR-ad," with a silent "g?" That's my understanding of the name.
The mn is a little off-putting, but you're right about it not being a problem as a mn. I've wondered exactly how it is pronounced and now I know. Thanks. Yes, they flow nicely.
I never thought anyone else would like this name. It figures it would be you. All we need now is for Harry Potter to get a new girl-friend named Angharad and we're in business.
