Ceridwen - Welsh people will say Cridwen. Non-welsh will say all sorts. Serridwen will be one of them. A No from me, but it's a very old welsh name
Glesni - Gles. No
Briallen - impossible pronunciation in England. Bri Allen
Cadi - nice, prefer Catrin
Sian - Siân
Elen - nice

My late sister was called Ceridwen, known as Ceri. We didn't grow up in Wales so no one had heard of it, and there were some interesting pronunciations. I like Cadi, Sian and Elen from your list.
