Since Eira is pronounced EYE-rah in Welsh, I'm pretty sure that Gwyneira is supposed to be pronounced gwyn-EYE-rah. I prefer gwyn-AIR-ah myself though. It's very pretty.

I dislike Gwyneira. I'm not the biggest fan of the Gwen/Gwyn- names, and this just sounds really unappealing. I say Gwy-NEER-ah, and the other prn just don't seem natural to me.

Adeline Ruth is lovely.

Gwyneira is very pretty. I'm not certain of the pronunciation, however I tend to say it as gwyn-eer-ah.

Adeline Ruth is very pretty as well! I really like it, though it helps that both names are family names for me : )

I would prnounce it Gwyn-ee-rah. I don't like it at all, I don't like any name starting with Gwyn.

Adeline Ruth - pretty!

Gwyn-EYE-rah would be the correct pronunciation, I believe. It's a pretty enough name, and would work well, I think. I would love to see it used on a little girl. It's unusual without being kre8tyve or wacky.

Adeline Ruth is nice, depending on how you say Adeline.

Sorry, but to be honest I don't like Gwyneira. It sounds made up & is difficult to pronounce. I would probably pronounce it: Gwen-near-a. Adeline Ruth is okay. I prefer Adelaide to Adeline.

It should be Gwyn-EYE-rah; "ei" makes the "eye" sound in Welsh. I don't see it working outside Wales, or on a child without Welsh parentage anyway - but it's pretty.
