Re: Morgan, and a question
in reply to a message by Billina
It's all boy to me - not entirely because of my Welsh 3x great grandfather! I've never met or seen a reference to a local female Morgan where I live.
And now, the question: and I know I'm being cheeky here.
How do you pronounce Billina?
Because, the wonderful first line of the Willoughby chant seems to need WILLina, which would make it BILLina. As with WIRfak and MIRfak. But I'd always heard it in my head as billEEna.
What does it sound like in your head?

bill-EEN-a. I read Willina to sound like will-EEN-a, so it rhymes to me.
