Hi everyone,

Does nnyone know any Arianwens? Do they get called by their full first name or does it get shortened?

I love the name Arianwen, I think it's very beautiful. Can anyone think of similar longish Welsh baby girl names please.

The ending -wy is pronounced just like the english word with minus the th.
Myfanwy is pronounced Muv-ann-wi (wi as in with or wind or will etc).
You will also hear Miff-anway and other mispronunciations.
The nn Myfi (pr Muvvy) is sweet.
