My name is Kynwynne, my dad changed the spelling so people could say it. They still get it wrong. There are a few other variations of the name like Kynwynn all pronounced Kine-Wyn or Kine-wen. I love my name but most people call me Kye.

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.

Such a lovely unique name that you don't hear very often and the pronunciation Seen-Wen is lovely.

I've had this name for 65 years and still people cannot pronounce it properly. I have to pronounce or spell it out for them.

Ceinwen is my given name. I have to put up with people pronouncing and spelling it completely wrong, and so I have to spell or sound it out to people all the time. I pronounce it as KINE-wen, although I think it sounds lovely the other way too.
It's such a rare name here (I'm in Australia), but I wouldn't have it any other way. Over the years I've come to love it as just being a part of who I am. :)

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.
