It's pretty, but it is a bit odd. I don't mean that in a disparaging way. You have to embrace its different-ness rather than worrying about it. It won't be any more difficult for a child to spell than any other name. Lily Eilonwy is really pretty - it's hard to make a nice combo where both names end in that long ee sound, but this one works. Lillian "Lily" Eilonwy would be pretty too. Have you thought about how you'd combo it as a first name?

Eilonwy Rose always come to mind. But it is pretty boring. I feel that it needs a simply middle name. Maybe I'll just do Lily Eilonwy and use the middle name.Elsa is a family name for me and I'd like to use a form of it but it never fits with my favorites. Eilonwy Elsie is not really working. Maybe Eilonwy Maia. Eilonwy Annabel. But they are all not that good.

What about Eilonwy Elise? That's so silvery and sweet, and it's almost Elsie!

I like Elise but not really enough to use. But yes, it sounds nice! I am so complicated with combos. The only ones I truly like are Lily Eilonwy, Eilonwy Rose and Lyra Galatea. But Rose doesn't really mean anything to me except for me liking the flowers so that is kind of boring I guess.

That's totally fine and not boring at all! Roses are legitimately nice and Eilonwy Rose is pretty.
