I was attempting to use the more traditional pronunciation, el-O-wen, but it was difficult for people here to pronounce. Mostly, we've been saying EL-o-wyn. I think the accent here makes el-O-wen and EL-o-wyn sound very similar.
Yeah, now that you mention it, I think it can work to have two or more pronunciations. My sister's name is like that. People may read it different ways, but they're hardly ever really "wrong." I like your attitude about it!
