[Opinions] Cerigwyn
I saw this name in the local paper the other day, and I thought it was interesting. She is the wife of a pastor. WDYT? "What matters most is how well you walk through the fire." -Charles Bukowski

It's very pretty. I like it.

I like Ceridwen, which makes me almost like Cerigwyn, but I'm just not crazy about the G in the middle. Ceridwen would have been better, and it's very unusual, so I'm not seeing the reason for Cerigwyn instead. You know what would be cool? If more Carries were Ceridwens rather than Carolines or just plain Carries.

Nice :)It looks like a form of Ceridwen. I love Ceridwen ^_^ This Cerigwyn looks like legitimate Welsh to me, though I don't know enough about the language to be sure.. I guess as it was in the paper, you don't know if she's Welsh? Just wondering, because
I don't see anything wrong with using names from languages without being from that country.
Ceridwen is lovely, and Cerigwyn looks like it'd be pronounced almost the same, so I like it too.

It's not a Welsh name, as such - more of an attempt at one. Ceri & Gwyn are both legitimate names, but someone called Ceri Gwyn would be male - Ceri is unisex but Gwyn is a boy's name.
(I'm Welsh, btw)

Looks like they were aiming for Ceridwen, and missed.

Somebody got hit hard with the "I wanna be Welsh" stick.
