Re: XCenedra
It's not even remotely Celtic in origin. X doesn't exist in any of the modern Celtic-language alphabets, silent or otherwise, and C is normally pronounced like the c in 'cat'.Cenedra, sans the x, has however been used 4 times in the UK, and all of those usages date after the publication of a fantasy series called 'The Belgariad' by David Eddings, in which, according to Wikipedia, there's a character called 'Ce'Nedra' who alternatively goes by ''X'nedra':

I was just about to shout "Eddings!" myself...I think that's almost certainly the origin :D
