I found the name Gwenddydd/ Ganieda, she is the sister of the sorcerer Merlin, it is said that she stands for morning star, please tell me what you think of this name, do you think it is suitable as a name? Is that too much? Which is better, Gwenddydd or Ganieda.
Please let me hear your voice. Thank you very much.
Gwennddydd does not seem usable. Ganieda I don’t mind, though. I would instinctively pronounce them as Gwen-did and Gun-YEH-duh, but I’m not sure if that’s right.
Gwenyd is cool. Gwenddydd to me looks like stuttering. It depends a lot though on where you live. Maybe in [name_f]England[/name_f] or [name_m]Wales[/name_m] it would feel normal. Where I live in Northern [name_u]California[/name_u], I think people would assume the typewriter keys got stuck.
I much prefer it to Ganieda which (I am so sorry) sounds to me like a venereal disease. [name_u]Or[/name_u] a medicine to cure one. I love [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] and [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] and such, but their spellings make sense to my American mind.
Gwenddydd is intriguing. I quite like the earthy, magical feel. Ganieda looks a bit awkward to me
I think they’re both interesting names, though I wouldn’t be sure how to pronounce either of them. I would probably only recommend if you live in a place where they would be pronounced correctly.
I think outside of [name_m]Wales[/name_m] people will really struggle with Gwenddydd. [name_f]My[/name_f] gut instinct is that it would be pronounced something like Gwen-thith, but most people wouldn’t see ‘dd’ and think of a ‘th’ sound. I do like the nickname [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] though.
Gwenddydd looks a bit… off? to me. it’s also very obviously welsh but very similar to the welsh word for weakness (gwendid, and the y and i make the same sound), so it does seem a bit tryhard to me. i like Ganieda though, and could totally see it working.
