I've always loved the name since hearing the song and my wife loved it too (of course!). The Welsh connection was especially poignant and important, as my wife's older brother had recently died in a fishing accident off the coast of Ireland, where he had gone to study Welsh.<br /><br />A friend of mine sent me a recording of his native Welsh pronunciation of her name, which gives it a magical lilt. You can find it on her baby page:<br />http://www.buddydog.org/Rhiannon/rhiannon.htmlJonathan Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04953374030516995518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-41046950182924036552012-09-24T18:19:54.546-05:002012-09-24T18:19:54.546-05:00Echoes of the Melusine/Melusina legend, maybe, wit...Echoes of the Melusine/Melusina legend, maybe, with the mysterious appearance of a beautiful princess-figure and the apparent revelation of her monstrosity later.AFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-45519585471807608532012-09-24T14:29:36.983-05:002012-09-24T14:29:36.983-05:00Nice article of the folklore behind the song!

In one of these books, somewhere, Stevie Nicks was talking about how her interests for song topics come from her childhood-her parents were apparently overprotective and she stayed inside a lot...but her mother read to her from when Stevie was very young, mostly fairy tales and classic children's lore. That cultivated an interest in mystical type themes and her imagination took off because of books being such a huge part of her young life.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13378738090482985536noreply@blogger.com
