Elowen

We've decided on the name Elowen for our baby girl. There are 2 pronunciations we could use.

El-owen, which is the traditional Cornish pronunciation.
El-ow-en, which is more as it is written.

We prefer the El-owen pronunciation, but it seems that El-ow-en is more common.

Which one should we go for?

Okay it's growing on me so I checked modern Breton, Welsh and Irish and they are
Oull-men
Llwyfen
Leamhain

So both pronunciations are reasonable.
