From what I've heard, it's pronounced gwin-AY-ruh in some parts, which is my favorite pronunciation. This is a gorgeous, lilting, fairytale name fit for a princess. If only I were Welsh!
This is like naming your daughter Snow White - as in, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". Eirwen is basically the same name, just flipped around. Both are lovely, I can't decide which I like better; to me Gwyneira is more modern and princessy.

From the other things I've learned about Welsh pronunciations, I would assume this to be pronounced gwen-EYE-ruh.
Actually since it has "gwyn" (which is masculine as opposed to the feminine "gwen") it would be pronounced "gwyn-IE-ra"; it would have to be spelled "Gweneira" for it to be pronounced "gwen-IE-ra".
