[Opinions] Re: Gwen
in reply to a message by EMB
I *love* Gwendolyn / Gwendolen / Gwendoline "Gwen". I think it's simply wonderful. A classic, somewhat proper name with a fun, spunky nickname. Feminine, yet not. Yes.
Guinevere "Gwen" is cool but kind of counter-intuitive. Unless it's written 'Guin' (which looks bad) it's gonna look a little odd written down, if not spoken.
As a first name on it's own, however, I don't like it. I find it too trendy-minimalist, like Brynn, Ava, Penn, Ella etc. I think it's strictly a nickname.
Combos: I used Gwendolen, but I'm moving towards Gwendolyn and that could work too. Gwen as a nn for all combos. First set I used your PNL (hope that's okay), second I used my own random suggestions.
Gwendolen Ada
Gwendolen Aleida
Gwendolen Aloisia (kinda cool)
Gwendolen Aoife
Gwendolen Araminta
Gwendolen Beatrix
Gwendolen Eleanor
Gwendolen Louisa
Gwendolen Lydia
Gwendolen Marita
Gwendolen Matilda
Gwendolen Petra (love both names, but as a combo not sure)
Gwendolen Philomena
Gwendolen Rowena (cool)
Gwendolen Saskia (same as Petra. I looove Saskia, but not sure about the combo)
Gwendolen Ailsa
Gwendolen Alberta
Gwendolen Allegra
Gwendolen Antonia
Gwendolen Astrid
Gwendolen Cecilia / Gwendolen Cecily / Gwendolen Cecile
Gwendolen Cordelia / Gwendolen Cornelia
Gwendolen Cosima
Gwendolen Eleri
Gwendolen Emilia
Gwendolen Fiona
Gwendolen Francesca
Gwendolen Frida
Gwendolen Ingrid
Gwendolen Iris
Gwendolen Isabel
Gwendolen Ivy
Gwendolen Laurel
Gwendolen Leonor / Gwendolen Lenore
Gwendolen Meredith
Gwendolen Niamh
Gwendolen Octavia
Gwendolen Olivia
Gwendolen Oona
Gwendolen Ophelia
Gwendolen Pandora
Gwendolen Roberta
Gwendolen Saoirse
Gwendolen Sibyl / Gwendolen Sybil
Gwendolen Siofra
Gwendolen Sorcha
Gwendolen Susannah
Gwendolen Therese
Gwendolen Victoire

Yeah, an odd mix, but do you see anything that appeals to you? :)
