It's nice but I prefer Bronwen.

but bron is masculine

So I have been told The Wen part of Bronwen is what tells you it is Feminine not the Bron
In welsh Wyn is Male Wen is female
ie the names
Gwyn and Gwen both mean "white, fair, blessed" in Welsh. the first is male the second is female ( Gwen is also used as a short form of longer names beginning with Gwen)
A childs smile is worth more to me than Gold
