I really like Nolwenn. It's slowly crept up on me over the past year. I think it's lovely. Not too frilly, but not too plain. I could never quite warm up to Olwen, but this is completely different to me. It seems complete now!

I’ve never given Nolwenn much thought before, I’ve only seen it a few times on this board. I think I like the look of it better than the sound.

Like any?

I can't think of any middle names, but it's nice. It's kind of growing on me. It's not exactly pretty, but I like it.

I think I like it. I dearly love Olwen, my favorite Welsh name, and Nolwenn is similar enough to trigger a positive reaction. At the same time, it looks wrong. I'll have to think on it.

Mary Nolwenn is sweet. I love Mary with an unusual middle name.

Sound-wise, I prefer Olwen, but this is nice. I've been enjoying Etheyln lately too, which now comes to mind for some reason. Nolwenn definitely feels strong and battle-ready but there's some sweetness too; wouldn't mess with her, though. Mary Nolwenn is about perfect I think. Please excuse if any of these are repeats...or just bad... ;)

I think I do like it now. For the longest time I almost liked it, but didn't quite for some reason. Maybe because it was too close to Olwen, but it wasn't Olwen. Or maybe because I can't quite figure out what it makes me think of, it's like a blank white name with some yellow stuck in there. Anyway, there's a road I used to go by every day called Nowlen and I'd always think it said Nolwen... somehow it made me start to like Nolwenn a little more.

Mary Nolwenn is very pretty. Mary Olwen has always been one of my favorites. :) Hmm, combo ideas.
Nolwenn Rohese - like this a lot, very red and elegant
Nolwenn Clare
Nolwenn Edith - hmm, cute
Nolwenn Eugenia
Nolwenn Femie
Nolwenn Genevieve
Nolwenn Hazel - like this too, makes me think of like... wearing hemp anklets while eating granola :) Takes it a different direction.
Nolwenn Lorna

I like it, it's even on my favorite list. I discovered a singer called Nolwenn Leroy and found her name interesting.
I think Marie Nolwenn would be cuter than Mary, but that's just me.

Just to be super-clear, it's pronounced NOHL-win, right?

---

Hm.... I might go super girly, since Nolwenn doesn't sound very feminine to me.
Nolwenn Alessandra
Nolwenn Amadea
Nolwenn Elisabetta
Nolwenn Christianne

and the like

I love Nolwenn! But I have no idea what to pair it with. It's also consistently ranked low in my PNL - I don't know if many other people like the name.
