    Actually, I think a closer translation of "linn" is "pool" as in Dark (or Black) Pool, or Dublin.

    Kirowyn, I am sure I am messing up the spelling, is welsh for a white goddess or something like that. I saw a friend this weekend and her daughter was named Kirowyn. She had to explain how to pronounce her name and the background behind it.

    I thought it was very musical and a great name!
