[Opinions] Re: Guinevere
Cons:
It's ugly-looking.
It sounds (or would sound, to someone who was unfamiliar and first heard it spoken) more like the name of an antiviral drug, than like a person's name. Quinavir? I'm reaching.
I say GWIN-uh-veer (the ee is not that long because it's unstressed - it's like in atmosphere, not like engineer)I think it's pretty cool on a real person, though. It'd be usable, like Arwen, Eowyn, or Athena.
I don't think I'd prefer it over Jennifer, at least not today. But it is certainly more remarkable and memorable than Jennifer. I'm on the fence about whether it's better to have a name like Guinevere or one like Jennifer.- mirfak
