What do you think of Selwen?

Just curious what people think of the name Selwen for a girl. Basically what kind of image does it bring to mind? TIA

Honestly I think it is terrible.
On the one hand, it sounds ALMOST exotic. But then, the lasting impression I get is kind of nerdy. SORRY!
I really like -wen endings, but this one isn't my style. Maybe it will grow on me?
How about Bronwen? I've always liked that name...

Sorry.
I'm sorry, my initial thought is that I really dislike it. It looks a little made up to me...kind of like a variation of Arwen, which I don't think is a real name, but a literary name.
It also reminds me of, and you're probably not going to like these associations either, but I can't help it, this is what comes to mind:
saran wrap, or even a brand of tin foil....
a sea hag or Medusa-like creature....
*cringing* I'm so sorry, but that's what came to mind.
Once I stop to say the name, it doesn't sound too bad, but when I first saw it, the
s-e-w-e-n made me think at first glance of sewer. Selwyn, because of the "y" doesn't have the same association for me.
Best of luck!
Hope all of these opinions have helped.
