As someone who is not Welsh I initially thought this was a male name

Love it

Really frumpy. I know a little one and still am not quite used to her name.

Arwen sounds so much nicer for some reason.

It is a nice name, but I feel duty bound to tell you that Olwen is our nickname for DH's penis. I know it is a girls name, so I'm not really sure how that happened. But yes, nice name

I have a lovely Aunty Olwyn in her 80s, so feel warm towards Olwyn and Olwen because of her.

I know two. Both Welsh. One in her 80s and one in her 30s who hates it and goes by Ollie. It's very much an elderly aunt in tweed name to me, sorry!

Olwyn is welsh for wheel.
