My wife and I are American but when we saw the name Llewelyn (Welsh) we instantly fell in love with it. We decided against using the pronounciation of those backwards Celts and use the American pronounciation that's like Lou-Ellen.
We had no idea this was a 'mispronounciation'! It never occured to us to do any research into the name we were saddling our child with for life! We just wanted to pick a unique name from another culture, and now it's too late to change the pronounciation.
Everyone keeps mispronouncing it now - of course we would never mispronounce a name - and I'm so scared my child will have to spend their life correcting those barbarians :(
(Based on this I'm a bitter Welsh person)
EDIT: GUYS CHECK THE SUBREDDIT this is satire I'm Welsh I promise I'm not calling myself backwards it's a joke about how people aestheticise 'Celtic' nations. Cymru am byth and all that.
Gotcha, I wonder if her way of speaking is more similar to yours or mine

Wait how are they different to you? I’m sorry I guess it’s my dialect, but Karen, Seren, and Seven are all pretty similar vowel sound wise. I think it’s because Karen often sounds like Kerin here.
