[Opinions] Re: Gwyndelen
You're extremely welcome :) Gwyneth Delia also has a very pleasant flow. I think I prefer Gwyneth Delia, though I like Gwendolen Delia, too. :)

What do you think of Gwyndolen Adelle?
I do like Gwyneth, but if I'm honoring grandparents, then I don't want to leave my dad out, so I need the -len part. I figure my father in law gets the last name, so I'm not worried about fitting his name in there.

Okay. I see the situation. What I'd suggest you is honor them each with a separate name rather than trying to contract three names into two. If there isn't a ready solution that isn't awkward, I'd take the two middle name route. Is Len short for Leonord? If so, I'd consider Gwyneth Leonie Adele. Are you planning to have other children? If so, one of them could wait. There are a LOT of ways to honor Len. Lena, Helen, Lenora, Leonora, Magdalen, Leonie, Leona. ETA: I just saw the Lenray. I guess Gwyndolen isn't bad, but I really don't like GwyndElen. Gwyndolen Adelle I suppose serves a purpose.

I've changed my mind. Since it is honoring, I think the spelling Gwyndelen might be allowable. Change of heart.

Thanks! You made me chuckle, especially seeing your change of heart documented throughout the post.
We probably won't have any more. This one would be number 4, and I'm 38! That's why I'm on the search for the perfect name. I'm not even pregnant yet, but I'm expecting to be expecting soon.
I don't even know if my husband is going to like the name at all since I haven't mentioned it to him. I have to come up with a final list to present to him. He isn't a name nerd like I am and can't handle all my obsessiveness. He's pretty set on using Elan for a mn, so I'd have to talk him out of it or have twins!
