HelpRe: Welsh BAs
in reply to a message by Mireio
Yup, there's no x in the Welsh alphabet. It's an odd one! and I'd be willing to bet she's the first one ever. Maybe they wanted a female form of Macsen, or just liked the sound.

I'm currently trying to decide if Macsine is cool or looks too much like a cold medication to be nice.

It might be good if you wanted to call her Mac (or had a cough:) But it wouldn't work in Welsh. The old-school female version would be Macsena, which I've never seen, but a lot of Welsh-speakers don't like the -a feminine endings 'cos they're borrowed from English, and the -i ending is more 'authentically Welsh', so that's probably why they went with it.
I am clearly a terrible Welshwoman because I actually quite like Macsena. :/

I like Mascena too. It's very...femme fatale. Macsi is cute, but Macsena has undeniable oomph.
