Help[Opinions] Re: Welsh BAs
in reply to a message by Pie
Huh, never seen Iola before, and it's English? I'd guess it's pronounced YO-la? That's pretty.
Lliwen is pretty too, do you know the meaning?

Iola "yolla" is superfun. It's like the words jolly and yellow in name form.

Hmm, not sure I like yolla, maybe I'll just pronounce it wrong for myself. :P Although maybe it could be either because if it's a variant of Iole, then I think YO-la would be correct. But if you think of it as a feminization of Iolo, then it would be the other one.
True, darn that gwen. Color is a neat meaning to have in a name. I mostly like the sound of Lliwen.
ETA: Perhaps you could help me with this. I thought of this after clicking on Gwynfor (which I can't decide if I like or not). What's up with mawr vs. fawr? Is fawr like the old version of mawr or something? Because it's not even in the dictionary I'm looking at, but I know it's a word. And I'm also assuming that's why the -for part is mawr... because it's actually fawr?

Mutations are a huge pain.:)
