Thanks!
Some random comments.
Aerona -never considered this one before
Afanen -I love this, but Pie (who is Welsh) said she had never found proof of anyone being named this. I instead made a character with the surname Avannen.
Briallen -hmmmm..... Hmmm
Eluned -I'm a fan.
Emblyn -I guess, but the same story already has a character named Eben so...
Eseld -pretty
Gwyneira -this might go down as the first "Gwen" name that I actually like.
Imogen -maybe maybe
Kerensa -why did I think this was Hebrew? Maybe because Keren is.
Mairead -already used :)
Orla -the characters' grandmother
Belenus -fun to say
Idris -a personal favourite
Peredur -hmmmm
Rivalen -never heard of it
Ronan -their cousins are brothers named Ronan and Colm.
