I named my daughter Ceinwen, very rare here in Australia, not imagining anyone would have any difficulty pronouncing the name but she gave up correcting people from using ‘sen-wen’ to the correct way of ‘kine-wen’ and she now hates her name. If I’d thought it would be such a problem I wouldn’t have chosen it. Having grown up with a difficult name myself, I’m disappointed with myself for having chosen a name she isn’t proud of because of other people. I still love the name but it isn’t mine to live with and not enough parents ever consider that aspect when naming their children.
In South Wales Ceinwen is pronounced KINE-WEN, (in N.Wales, it is pronounced CAIN-WEN). However way it is pronounced, we always get complimented on the name. It is my granddaughter's and this name was chosen because of its meaning.
Ceinwen is pronounced CAIN-wen.
