[Opinions] Re: Ceridwen?
in reply to a message by akindofpoetry
I've always found it intriguing, but yes, I think it would be a tough one in the US. When I first encountered it, I naturally pronounced it "sir-id-wen," and I think most people here would do that as well. You would be constantly correcting people. I do believe the correct pronunciation is "ker-RID-wen," as you've stated in your post, but I'm not Welsh. Anyway, I find that most Welsh names are not ones that come naturally to us in the US, even though many are lovely.
