I really love this name, and would totally use it. At first, I pronounced it ELL-o-wen, and really had to adapt to "el-LOW-en" per the Welsh pronunciation. I actually like both pronunciations, and given that I think the US inclination would be to pronounce it incorrectly from it's origin, I would be hesitant to use it. (Also, I don't have any Welsh background). I think Ellie is a cute nickname, but so many names can be Ellie. Other nicknames: El, Lowie, Winnie, Wendy?
