Olwen/Olwyn

This name came to my attention as that of the sister of Ted Hughes (Sylvia Plath's husband.) Apparently Olwen is the original form but she spelled it Olwyn. It's Welsh and while there are two Welsh names I love, Bronwen and Carys, this one I think is awful. It has always struck me whenever I've read about Plath how awful this name is.

But I thought I'd see if there are any Olwen / Olwyn fans out there. WDYT?
