When I was looking up information on Aelwen *see on list of posts* I saw that some had suggested sibling names and Arianrhod was among them. This name has a very unique spelling. I do like the meanings and the mythology is interesting but I do not like the relation of this name to pagan religions and often Wicca rites. I think if this name were separate from that it would be much better. As it is this name is pretty but I could see one being thrown off by the spelling but I think it does have a unique charm to it.
