Help[Opinions] Re: Tirion
in reply to a message by Adenydd
I quite like it - probably not enough to use, but it's nice to see. I've come across two irl, one male, one female. It's been in use since at least 1865, not very often, and there have been around 150 of them born since 1984 - mostly female, but it is used on boys sometimes. I don't think it looks or sounds either harsh or 'unfeminine'- no more so than Ffion or Rhiannon, or Sharon or Alison.

Thanks for the additional information -- I had no idea it had been in use since the 1980s. I've seen it labeled as "modern" so I thought it was even more recent than that!

1865 is the earliest verified use I can find.

Yeah, I somehow missed that when re-reading your post -- I thought "1800s? Neat!" And then when I glanced back, I didn't look carefully enough, and only saw 1984.
