How would this made up name be pronounced in Welsh Ylianwen?
My guess is ''URR-lee-ANN-when''
the urr sound being similar to the American way of pronouncing the first syllable in ''early'' but without the R.

uhl -yan-wen
uh - as in butter
l -as in letter
y - as in yes
an - as in answer
wen - as in went
Or
uh-lee-yan-wen
?
I would say EE-lee-an-wen.
'Y' at the beginning of a name is often pronounced 'ee', like in Yves, Ysolde, Ysabeau and Yvaine.
Edit: Ysolde is a Welsh name.
