Without knowing the history behind the name I would say Jowan could keep
this name as Sellches but would have to explain that it was Kernow and
spell it everytime someone had to write it down.  It could be spelled as
Selches or Selkes (I'm not sure of the Kernow pronunciation of -ch-) in
Brithenig.  Without knowing how Jowan pronounces his name in English
Schilke could be phonetically spelt as Scilc or Scilke in Brithenig.
