Oh I really like Eos and Calan! I'm used to Eos as the Greek goddess - how do you pronounce the Welsh Eos?

Also I love Olwen Lois, Gwydion, and Glesni.

Welsh names are consistently awesome.

EH-os. A bit cheesy with Aria, but still cute.
Halloween here is called Nos Calan Gaeaf: night before the first day of winter. Just to give you a witchy connection.:)
