[Opinions] Re: Welsh BAs

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.
