Thoughts on Rhiannon?

Thinking more as a middle name (for May). Like its links to Welsh mythology and the awesome Fleetwood Mac song, but worried it maybe sounds a bit dated?

My name is Rhiannon, I’m 35. My parents were Fleetwood Mac fans haha. They also loved the welsh myth.
I was born in 1986 so my mum got a lot of raised eyebrows when she named me.
I’ve got to say I absolutely LOVE my name so much. I also love that I hardly ever meet another Rhiannon. Some people who are close to me shorten it to Rhi and I don’t mind that either.

Love it, one of my favourite girls names, and I love the song too, my favourite FM song.

I know two people called Rhiannon, one late 20s, the other early 30s. It's a lovely name.

Rhiannon is my favourite of all the Welsh Goddesses in the Mabinogion. She is the Welsh equivalent of Epona the Horse Goddess.

I don't know any Rhiannons in real life but one of my best friends is a Rhian.

I also love the name Arianrhod. 'Arian' means silver in Welsh, and Arianrhod is the goddess of 'the moon and the stars'. How cool is that?

Then there's Branwen the goddess of love, and Ceridwen who represents rebirth.

Such fab names.

If you like Rhiannon OP then go for it!

Whiney and sneezy.

I’m going against the grain here to say no, but that’s me - loads of other people here seem to love it.
