Myfanwy
What do you think of this Welsh girls name? It’s pronounced Muh VAHN we. I think it’s lovely but wonder if it looks to close to my fanny. And what are some combos you like.Myfanwy Eve
Myfanwy Grace
Myfanwy Leia

The Myfanwy I know (f30s, Welsh and in Wales )pronounces it more like "mih-f/van-wee" and goes by Myf. I think it's cute.

I think this name is really cute. It makes me think of a really friendly witch, for some reason. The "my fanny" thing isn't really as big an issue in North America, so no problems there - the pronunciation might bamboozle people, though, and they'd probably turn it into "my fan we".Myfanwy Edwina

Myfanwy Gwen, Myfanwy Guinevere

Myfanwy? It doesn't look good.
But it sounds good.
I really do like it, I guess.
7/10. It has a really cool sound!
It does look like my fanny, I thought it was at first.
I love Myfawny Leia.

I love Myfanwy. I don't think I have enough Welsh ancestry for it not to seem out of place on a child of mine, but I do like it.
Myfanwy Eve is a pretty combo.

I love the meaning, so sweet. After I learned the right pronunciation I think it looks ok. Myfanwy Grace is pretty cute.

I've been watching this (terrible) show on Amazon Prime called the Rook and there they say it like Tiffany with an M at the beginning. The way you're suggesting is much prettier.

I've read those books. Had no idea they made a show! I think one of the first lines in the book is about how she knows the name is pronounced incorrectly, lol.

It's ok if your welsh, but yes the my fanny could be problematic elsewhere
