Rhiannon

What are your thoughts on the name Rhiannon?

We have a very common, one syllable surname, so Rhiannon fits the “unusual but not unheard of” first name criteria.

Have also contemplated Arwen but figured it might be too heavily linked with LOTR.

I'm always surprised by how many people struggle to pronounce it, or think rhian/rianna/rhiannon are interchangeable - but that's never really bothered me.

Rhiannon is a gorgeous name.

Also love Rhianne, pronounced Ree-anne (rather than Rhian, which I think is usually pronounced Ree-un)

I love it, it's always been one of my favourite girls names.

Well it's my favourite fleetwood Mac song so yes I love it.
Arwen is lovely too and I think the lotr connection isn't awful!
