Help[Opinions] Re: WDYT of Llyr
in reply to a message by REM
1. The LL sound in Welsh doesn't exist in English. It's kind of like if you put your tongue like you would to make an L sound, but then just blow air. I guess hcl or hl is the best way to spell that in English. :) As being American and speaking English, I just pronounce LL like L. I'd say anyone in the US would also.
2. I don't think that Piers and Llyr are too alike. Since Piers has the S at the end so they don't rhyme, I think it's okay.
3. I kind of think of Llyr as a mythological name because the first time I heard it was in The Chronicles of Prydain, which was one of my favorite book series as a kid. But not to the extent that I would with many other Welsh names that are, say, associated with the Arthurian legend.
