Help[Opinions] Re: Arwen
in reply to a message by Amandine
I like it, and I would use it with the nickname Ari.
I used to think it was too LOTR for real life, but after I saw some real people named Arwen, it seemed a lot more usable. My only problem with it is that I like the character of Eowyn better as a namesake but that's not as usable without being TOO 'character'.

I prefer Eowyn, too. Not because of the character but because I prefer the etymology. It looks like it's being used...not quite as much as Arwen but twice as much as Browyn + Bronwen + Bronte, or about as much as Tamara gets used these days. I don't think it's necessarily more LOTR than Arwen.
