[Opinions] Re: Welsh BAs
in reply to a message by Pie
I like Seren Ffion though not as much as the Eleri Gwenllian whose combo I posted the other day.
Re Elin and Elen - I prefer Elin but there's a baby called Elen next door to me and there's a member of the Welsh Assembly called Elin from same region of Wales. I assume the spelling is just a matter of personal prefernce and not rooted in some South/North Welsh divide? I've also come across Welsh girls called Elinor - very pretty; my favourite spelling of Eleanor.

Definitely personal preference, I think. I've met quite a few of both spellings.
One of my nieces is an Elinor :)
