Help[Opinions] Re: WDYT of Llyr
in reply to a message by REM
1. It's difficult to say, I've never met one. Talking about places in Wales like Llandudno, I would say 'hlan' rather than 'lan'.
2. I think they're a little too similar. They sort of rhyme.
3. Mythology isn't really the same as religion. You wouldn't use an Arthurian name because you don't believe it to be true? Personally, I think mythology adds great depth and value to a name, and you don't have to believe it to be true in order to use it and appreciate it.
If you are stuck with the pronunciation, the Irish variant is Lir. Leir and Shakespeare's Lear may have been derived from Llyr or Lir.
