It's a gorgeous name but I think of LOTR every time I hear it.

A lovely Welsh name - or is he a Lord of the Rings fan...?

He has a son called Reuben. He is a LOTR fan and his wife wouldn't let him call Ds Aragorn!

Fine - I would think he was a fan of LOTR. Have heard much worse.

I think it's a really nice name. The LOTR associations will have died down by the time she's at school

Not so sure about that flatmum, what with it being a classic book. But agree it's a pleasant name.

We are over near the Welsh border and there are lots of Arwens.... Some are just Arwen, some use it as a diminutive for Arrianwen so here Welsh origins would be my first thought - then LOTR

Are they dark? Because in the welsh it means fair or similar

I don't like it at all, sorry. It's a bit lumpen.
