Arwen?

[Jakeyblueblue]

Anyone like this name or is The Lord of the rings connection mean its a no no?

Gwyn/gwen -it's all making sense now!

Ha ha ha "Maybe it would make a nice middle name? "
Middle Earth more like. You better hope she's an Elf, not a Hobbit, Orc or Dwarf. Her Elven sister could be Galadriel?

BTW Is your house called Rivendell - it's the most popular (last friendly) house name in the UK?
And 'The Hobbit' film is out in 4 days, so everyone will know her age!
Careful!

Galadriel makes me think of a tall ship

My Welsh friend is called Awen, which seems much nicer.

Yes, exotic, Tolkien based the name on the Welsh name.

I love it, but a life time of "oh Tolkien" would put me off.

A name I have loved aswell which has a similar feel is Elowen -Cornish meaning Elm Tree :) Perfection

Beautiful name

Lotr definitely the first thing that springs to mind. Beautiful name, though. We have a lovely neighbour called Arwen.

What squoosh said :o

Lovely name though.

I knew a family who named their house Bag End.

Elowen is pretty

We have an Arwen! In eight years only two people have made the LOTR connection. Everyone else just asks if we are Welsh! I was worried about it but she is a fairly minor character amongst many and most people just don't remember all the names. So go for it!
