"Gwynedd" is pronounced 'Gwyneth' nowdays, and is a female's name in the U.S., rather than a male's. Is Gwynedd still spelled this way in present-day Wales, and is it mainly a man's name? I wonder how this switch in genders happened, or is it one of those names that, like 'Blake' or 'Ashley' has become gender neutral? -- LOL Reading Recommendation Board

Sorry but thats not right, Gwyneth is not pronounced the same as Gwynedd, the dd is hard as in the not soft as in thought. The name Gwyneth is soft and Gwynedd is hard. (NT) -- Gwen, 14:43:07 05/11/10 Tue
