Edwynn
There is a very unusual story behind this name. Colin was born as 'Colin Edwin Thompson'. When he became an actor he had to change his name because no actor can have the same name. He took his middle name and changed the spelling. His idol was an actor called Ed Wynn and changed his name so it had the same spelling. The name Edwynn is not Welsh, Scottish or Irish or any other name. It was made up.
