Thanks. May I ask what makes you pretty sure. Are you familiar with other Welsh names and you're making an educated guess? Or have you heard it before? Other?

[I don't mean to be picky. It's just I want to be sure when I settle on the pronunciation that I've got it right.]

A guess. The stress tends to be on the second syllable in Welsh, as in Myfanwy, Aderyn, Aerona.. etc.
