Love, love Bronwen. It's an acquired taste since it's not frilly. It almost, well, it does sound masculine at first glance. But the more I got used to it the more I saw it's beauty. "How Green was My Valley" helped out a lot too.
I prefer the Bronwen spelling because I did some digging and found out that traditionally masculine Welsh names tend to use "y's" where feminine ones use "e's." This is counter to modern tastes, but I like to be authentic when possible.
Bronwen Isolde is a stock combination for me. Others you might like:
Bronwen Imelda (I stole that from someone on these boards)
Bronwen Fleur
Bronwen Emily
Bronwen Angharad (full frontal Welshness)
Bronwen Clio
Bronwen Lark
Bronwen Elinor
Bronwen Phoebe ;-)
Bronwen Hazel
Bronwen Freya
Bronwen Igraine
Bronwen Hilary
I used to dislike Phoebe. It reminded me of a buzzing insect / bee. But it's grown on me too and works surprisingly well in combinations. It has an energetic and nature-y feeling for me.
Stella Phoebe
Ursula Phoebe (Dammit. I thought of this one before "Friends." Is it still too Friends-y?)
Phoebe Natasha
Phoebe Liv
Phoebe Letitia / Laetitia
Phoebe Isidora
Phoebe Winter
Phoebe Acacia
Phoebe Sinead
Phoebe Imogen
Phoebe Lydia
Phoebe Alice / Alix
Phoebe Linnea
Phoebe Aurora
Sweet, overlooked Nina. Poor thing. Let's see if we can give her a day out of the house with these:
Nina Katharine / Kathryn
Winifred Nina
Nina Charlotte
Nina Leontine ("LAY-un-teen")
Nina Polly
Nina Molly
Nina Frances
Nina Sylvie / Sylvia / Silvestra
Nina Christabel
Nina Jessamine ("-min")
Nina Lilias
Nina Susan / Suzanne
Nina Violet / Violette
Nina Colette
Nina Niamh (this may be the worst combination I've ever come up with)
Nina Beatrix
Nina Gabrielle
Nina Lorelei
