I love Gwendolen spelled with an "e" over a "y". It looks prettier that way.

It's a good name; it sounds medieval without going overboard like Guinevere. I love the NN Gwen, but Wendy is cute, too. I'd love to meet a little Wendy.

I love Gwendolen.

My favorite NNs are Wendy or Dolly. Gwen is nice too though.

I prefer the spelling Gwendolen to the variants. It seems the most authentic and also looks prettier.
As Hebrew name addict I'll give some from the top of my head:
Gwendolen Adah
Gwendolen Batya
Gwendolen Dina
Gwendolen Eliora
Gwendolen Keren
Gwendolen Keshet
Gwendolen Keziah - my favourite; it evokes old Welsh Nonconformism.
Gwendolen Levana
Gwendolen Limor
Gwendolen Lior
Gwendolen Liraz
Gwendolen Meira (or Mayira)
Gwendolen Merav
Gwendolen Michal
Gwendolen Shira
Gwendolen Shoshana
Gwendolen Tamar
Gwendolen Tzipporah
Gwendolen Vered
Gwendolen Yael
Gwendolen Yakira
Gwendolen Yemima
Gwendolen Yonina

I think Gwendolen is okay; I neither like it nor dislike it. As pleasant as it sounds, something about it is clumsy to me as well. I prefer it spelled Gwendolen. Gwendolyn was the only spelling I accepted for the longest time, but after learning the -lyn ending is not correct and letting that fact steep for a few years, I've come around to Gwendolen and anything else looks wrong. The same thing happened to me with Bronwen. :)
