Help[Opinions] Gwenora / Gwenore
Took a poll on here a day or two ago and came across these Gwen- names: Gwenora & Gwenore. I'd never seen them before, but I got curious, so I Googled. Funnily enough, Gwenore brought back this Nameberry entry: https://nameberry.com/babyname/gwenore I don't think I've ever seen Nameberry take a side in the name's definition before! Poor Gwenore.
I think I prefer Gwenora of the two (even though I prefer Lenore to Lenora), but I find both intriguing. Anyway, wdyt?

As for, taking a side, view the entry for Adelphia:
"The name Adelphia is girl's name meaning "dearest sister".
Has a bit of a trade name feel, as in failed cable service."

Many of the entries are opinionated, like this. It is odd and, shows how unprofessional the site is compared to Behind the Name.

Oh wow!
I'm not on the site very often, but any time I'd actually clicked on the name it had always been matter-of-fact.
It's also dubious whether "dearest sister" can be the definition, at least the "dearest" part. The #adelph# element does indicate being from the same womb, however (indicating sibling).

Well, BTN submitted names section says it's a Cornish form of Guinevere (white, fair, blessed & phantom, magical being) so that's where "white shadow" comes from I guess. I must say I was intrigued by the meaning white shadow, but it makes sense now.
I don't think Gwenora / Gwenore is that awkward, but I still prefer Guinevere. Of the original two I would go with Gwenora, for pronunciations sake.

Sadly, all names starting with Gw- make me think of a frog trying to swallow a worm that's just too large for him. So, at gunpoint I'd choose Gwenora and shorten it to Nora before I'd left the delivery room.
