Help[Opinions] Enlli
I saw this name the other day on a Welsh young lady and thought it was really pretty. I'd never heard it before. It makes me think of a cool breeze and smells like fresh air.
What do you think of it? Combo ideas? They don't have to use other Welsh names, necessarily.
At first I was thinking I'd like it with something that felt more delicate or maybe floral, like
Enlli Carol
Enlli Edith
Enlli Spring
...I forget the other ones I'd thought of.

If it's a Welsh name, doesn't that mean the 'll' is aspirated? I find this name very difficult to say, if that's the case (with the aspirated 'l' sound coming on the heels of an 'n').

I don't know...
I think it looks a bit weird. I think it's the double L's that makes me hesitate about it. I quite like how it sounds though, if II'm pronouncing it correctly. I guess I'm neutral about it.

I'm not naming a person. :)
Enlli Alis is very sweet.

Ooh, that's pretty. I was glad that you had submitted this name so I could find out more about it when I searched. :)

How would you pronounce this name? If it is pronounced more or less as it is written, than I would opt for Enlli Carol - because Enlli Edith puts together the same vowel "i" (unless Enlli is pronounced as it would rhyme with "sky") and is therefore hard to pronounce. And Enlli Spring sounds to me, please forgive, like a Spa (albeit a very nice one) (Enlli Springs…). ;-)

Welsh ll is one letter and isn't pronounced like l - the sound doesn't exist in English. You can hear it here: http://www.forvo.com/word/ynys_enlli/#cy
