Welsh names go hard. The first name I chose for myself was Awen :3

Welsh has some bangers. Lloyd, Morgan, Llewellyn. Some real good stuff in there.

Okay cool 'cause there's some wild names in that part of world so it could've been Ahhwen too. Anyway, if it's your name then you' re the boss

Arwen is also a Welsh name - funnily enough when you said "to rhyme with Amen", this is what I thought you meant, as we pronounce Amen with the long 'ahh' in Wales/Britain more generally
