Help[Opinions] Re: Llewellyn
in reply to a message by BabyNameAholic
Llewelyn was used for Josh Brolin's character in No Country for Old Men, and it was pronounced the English way (loo-WEL-in); and I admit I found the name to be odd. It sounds like Lou-Ellen to me in English, and therefore not masculine. And the original Welsh pronunciation, I can't even say the double-L (I think it's one of those cases where you need to grow up saying it in order to pronounce the sound correctly)!
As far as an "Anglicized" version is concerned, the only one I know of is Fluellen (floo-EL-in), which Shakespeare used in "Henry V." I think that might actually be less attractive.
