How is it pronounced?
eye-LONN-wee or ay-LONN-wee (I have seen both).
It has a very pretty meaning, and the name itself is attractive in a weird elfin sort of way. Maybe because I don't have any reference for it, it seems masculine to me. I like it!
It's really lovely. That "wy" supplies the perfect amount of whimsy.
Very whimsical, mysterious. I like it.
I've always liked it. It seemed too one-character to be a baby name for a long time, but now, I dunno ... I think those books are some kind of canon now. It's like Arwen, took some years for people to start using for babies.
I like it, I think it's very pretty
I really like this name. It’s unique and in my opinion, looks and sounds pretty and it’s fun to say
Was that the name of the princess in the Black Cauldron? I find it a little bit confusing visually but it's still nice in a fae kind of way.
Yes. I haven't read the book yet but I think I will order it. I love the look of the name and the meaning. But yes, it is a bit complicated.
Do read the whole series, starts with Book of Three. It seems like something you'd like! That was my favorite series as a child.
Thanks! I will order it.
Don't really like it
I like it a lot :)
