OK, well, at this point there are many little girls named Arwen running around so it isn't like you are naming a child something that only a fictional charactor has, right? Maybe Eirwen is better for you if you dont like the LOTRingy-ness of Arwen? or is the Eir part just too different for you?

I don't really mind that it's a name from a book, I was just wondering whether people would always associate it with the books. I don't think there'd be many little Arwens it has never made the top 1000 which surprised me a bit too. Eirwen is not really my style, I think I find the Ar beginning in Arwen really attractive and soft. Don't really like Eowyn either.

I love the "Ar" sound, too! It's actually due to Arwen that I like several names beginning with "Ar," such as Arden and Arlette.

Well, in that case, my answer is no, I don't associate it with the books. :-)

oh could you tell me how Eirwen is pronounced? I still don't really like the way it looks but the meaning is great.

I've heard it as IRE-wen and AIR-wen. I don't know which is "correct" but they are both pretty nice to my ear. I understand that they are not Arwen though.
