Help[Opinions] Re: Gwenllian
in reply to a message by Bear
Sadly, Gwenllian is one of those names that's really tricky to pronounce properly unless you've grown up with the Welsh ll - which is really hard to describe, as it doesn't exist in English. gwen-THLEE-an is vaguely close. Mair is much more non-Welsh-user-friendly! and is pronounced MY-er.

Oh, dear. That definitely is not names 101 material. Thanks for the inside info. It really helps.
I'll have to leave the pronunciation for the advanced class. But I still love the look of it. :-) Once I read that it was a favorite of medieval Welsh parents I was sold. I'm a sucker for historic names.
