Help[Opinions] Ceinwen... how would you pronounce it?
I saw this name recently and I really like it. Trouble is, I don't know how to pronounce it. Help please!

Um...
If you'd asked me a year ago, I'd have said KINE-wen, the same as Ciarda has. But the pronunciation I've had confirmed by a fluent Welsh speaker is KANE-wen.

I'd pronounce it SIGN-when. Don't know if that's correct though. :)

Nope, that's incorrect - Ciarda is right :-)

KIEN-wen. KIEN rhyming with the word Wine.

No problem. Our poster Mada Weird is named Ceinwen and had discussed that people are constantly mispronouncing her name, so I had to ask as well.
