Wondered if anyone knew anyone with these names and what they think of them

Sorrel, Elowen, Manon (pronounced Welsh way.

Two syllable surname.

Also what goes well as a middle name. Family names don’t really suit and have been used apart from Mai (pronounced My)

Manon - Wiktionary, the free dictionary

This is how you should NOT say Manon in Welsh. The English presenter calls her ManUN instead of Manon with the 'o' in 'of'.
She also pronounces Steffan as Steffun.

Manon des Sources.

Thanks for correcting my typo. Not sure how anyone would have managed to comprehend my post without your input.

Any other SJM fans thinking of Manon, the Surriel and Elain? 😅

Edit- read more PP comments after posting this - see that I'm not alone!

Sorrel is one of the Thirteen too, but I never noticed the Suriel sounds similar!
Maybe we will find out if there's a reason for it in October 😏🤣

I like Sorrel.

Manon I'm just not keen on and Elowen is going to persistently be asked 'are your parents Lord of the Rings fans?'

I stand shamed in my lackluster TOG knowledge 😅

(Currently wading through a CC re-read which I'm not really enjoying but feel like it will be helpful to be fresh on the plot!)

I have an unhealthy attachment to TOG so no shame 🤣

At that's a shame you're not enjoying your CC re-read, although in fairness I feel that series definitely peaked at book 1
