Comments for LLEWELYN:
Llewelyn Fawr was a famous Welsh prince who united Wales in the thirteenth century. Here Be Dragons, by Sharon Kay Penman, is a very good historical fiction account of his life.-- Anonymous User 3/15/2007
I think the name itself is very cool, but I'm a bit confused as to how it's pronounced. I've read that the double l in Welsh can be approximated by saying 'h' and 'l' at the same time, but I'm not sure how the rest is said. I like it, but I'm sure that in any place other than Wales (or with anyone who is not familiar with the Welsh language) the pronunciation would be completely butchered.-- Anonymous User 7/15/2007
Pronounced hloo-ellen.-- TSato 9/11/2007
Llewelyn Moss is a character in the movie "No Country For Old Men".-- NiamhWitch 3/16/2008
I found a website that explains the pronunciations of Welsh names, and their advice for pronouncing the 'll' sound is to "put your tongue in the 'l' position and try to hiss".-- Anonymous User 3/30/2008
Living in the US I've always heard it pronounced like "Lou-ah-lin" but I'm sure it's different in Welsh. Either way I think it's a great old-timey, manly name.-- cedesm 5/8/2008
This name is really weird and demented. Muhaha.-- yohevid 10/13/2008
