Rhiannon
What are your thoughts on this name? I've recently become so intrigued with it, but I can't decide if I would ever actually use it. What names would you use as a sibling for Rhiannon?

Rhiannon had a big popularity surge in the 80s in Wales (where I'm from), so there are a lot of young adult Rhiannons about, and it feels quite unexciting to me. But it's a nice enough sounding name. Similar-feeling names that are pronunciation-friendly for the non-Welsh:
Mared, Sian, Bethan, Megan, Gwen, Carys, Cerys, Anwen, Seren

I think it's trashy, to be honest. But I'm fairly certain my feelings towards it are marred by a girl I once knew.

It's Ok, but I don't really think it's fantastic. I also think it might get popular because of the singer Rihanna perhaps, or be mistaken for Rihanna and other spellings.
I much prefer Rhiannon when pronounced with a welsh accent!I might choose another welsh name to go with it, such as Anwen or Carys - I love both!

As far as pop culture references go, I think of the Fleetwood Mac song. My age is showing...(in my defense, actually, the song came out before I was born. Heh.)

I like it. My future sister-in-law is called Rhiannon. Siblings are Patrick and Gregory
