Help[Opinions] Re: Welsh BAs
in reply to a message by Pie
New to me:
Elain - is this pronounced eh-line? I think I like it.
Leusa - any information on this name? It reminds me of Louisa or Lucy.
Alwena
Gwenno - interesting! Is this common? It looks like a diminutive of Gwen or Gwen- names to me.
Eban
Murain - reminds me of Muirenn / Murron.
Gwyndaf - for second I thought this looked like Gandalf
Familiar names I like:
Sioned
Wyn - prefer Wynn or Wynne
Rhys
Gareth
Gwynfor
Marjorie
Bryn
Sion

Yup, Elain is eh-line. Leusa is pronounced lay-sa - it's quite a modern name and nobody is sure where it came from, it's possibly a version of Lisa
Gwenno is the old name for the planet Venus - 'little white one' - it's a name in its own right, but it's not very common.
Murain is an alternate spelling of Mirain. They're both pronounced MI-rine (to rhyme with 'mine') and come from an Old Welsh word for 'lovely'.

Thanks! I've decided to add Elain and Murain to my PNL. I love the meaning of Gwenno but I'm not sure about the name itself ... perhaps it'll grow on me in time.
