HelpRe: Branwen, Bronwen, Anwen, or Bronwyn?
in reply to a message by tursiopschic
I think a Branwen would be forever explaining that yes, it is a name and no, it isn't Bronwen. Pity.
I imagine that Bronwyn is down as f because it wouldn't be used in Wales - pretty incongruous for a rugby-playing sheep farmer - and the actual meaning of the -y- is that some people find it ultra-feminine. Like turning Jane into Jayne.
I knew an Anwen once who went by Anne; don't know why. But it's good to have a good nickname handy! Anwen would be my choice.
