This has been growing on me lately. I love the sound and meaning, like Rhiannon but more interesting. Would this work in America?

I would say: Unfortunately not. It does not work, at least not as a FN. Nobody can remember the spelling and also the pronunciation is tricky.

I wouldn't trust any non-Irish person with a name like that! Use it as a 2nd mn, if at all.

sorry to disappoint but I don't think Americans could cope with that spelling :/

I like it, but I don't know if Americans can pronounce it.

No, it definitely wouldn't work in America. Probably wouldn't work in most other places either. I have no idea how to pronounce it.
