Hedda Stellyn
I seem to have family approval of Hedda, but its much harder for them to understand "Stellyn." I thought of it because I wanted to incorporate a family name (Llyn, which I believe is the Welsh spelling of Lynn) and I wanted a two syllable middle name for Hedda (last name: Dodds). When I looked it up, I found it meant "trestle bridge" in Manx (Gaelic) and that conjured up a very symbolic, historical image to me.
Also, if anyone knows the actual pronunciation of "Llyn" or "stellyn," that would be very interesting.
