This name is so lovely and very unique. I like how Annie or Winnie could be nicknames. Although the spelling is different I love the link to the Celtic otherworld Annwn, a place of delights and eternal youth.
So lovely, I don't think I know a more beautiful name for a little girl especially considering the meaning. Something about the name Anwen just so feels warm and soft, I love it.
It's a really beautiful name. I'm not sure I could use it in England, but then there are plenty of English kids called Carys and Bethan who don't have a drop of Welsh blood in them. Hmm...
This is such a pleasant name! I just love Welsh names, especially those easy to pronounce if you're not familiar to the language. And even if the bearer doesn't like her name, she could always shorten it to Anne. A lovely name, all around!
Anwen is my friend's name. I think it's gorgeous. Sadly, though, she has been teased because of its likeness to Arwen, the character from Lord of the Rings.

For some reason, I really like Welsh names, and this one is no exception! It's beautiful!
