Re: Alice vs Elowen?
in reply to a message by Danno
Elowen is beautiful looking and I love the meaning but when said it sounds like LON which seems like a play on LOL, my guess is it would mean Laugh Out Never.
Alice is simple and classic. It is pretty and prim but not stuffy. It has many good associations and has a nice sound unfortunately it is a little bland.
So I think that my choice would be Alice or a different name ending in -wen like Bronwen or Ceridwen. Or Arwen, Eirwen, Morwen, or Rhianwen.

Favorite Names:
Dorothea, Marguerite, Aurora, Fiona, Artemis, Vivian, Hazel, Clara, Leona, Luna, Maeve, Iris, Frida, Matilda, April, Flora, Cascadia, Serafina
Kieran, Rowan, Brendan, Tristan, Cedric, Cedar, Arthur, Magnus, Malcolm, Adrian, Julian, Robin, Connor, Xavier, Gryphon, Gavin, Teagan

Um, not if you pronounce it as "Eh-lo-win" which is how I say it. I don't say it as Elle-O-en. Similiar, yes but that doesn't at all phase me.
