I literally thought this was pronounced "Lou Ellen" for the longest time.
I think the only way anyone can pronounce the Ll is if you're Welsh! The best way I can explain it here is to put your tongue to the roof of your mouth and make a hissing sound.
As for the rest of the name, it's pronounced uh-well-in (Literally how you pronounce those words).
So add the hissing sound to the start of the sentence Uh, well in and you've got it!
I hope that helped, haha!
In the "Blue Bloods" series, Bliss Llewelyn is the daughter of Lucifer.
This name is really weird and demented. Muhaha.
Living in the US I've always heard it pronounced like "Lou-ah-lin" but I'm sure it's different in Welsh. Either way I think it's a great old-timey, manly name.
I found a website that explains the pronunciations of Welsh names, and their advice for pronouncing the 'll' sound is to "put your tongue in the 'l' position and try to hiss".
Llewelyn Moss is a character in the movie "No Country For Old Men".
Pronounced hloo-ellen.
I think the name itself is very cool, but I'm a bit confused as to how it's pronounced. I've read that the double l in Welsh can be approximated by saying 'h' and 'l' at the same time, but I'm not sure how the rest is said. I like it, but I'm sure that in any place other than Wales (or with anyone who is not familiar with the Welsh language) the pronunciation would be completely butchered.
Llewelyn Fawr was a famous Welsh prince who united Wales in the thirteenth century. Here Be Dragons, by Sharon Kay Penman, is a very good historical fiction account of his life.
