As a first name? As a middle name? Honest as you like :)

Way better than Gwenhwyfach, Guinevere's sister.

I do like it but not as keen on Gwen or Vera, both of which are likely to be nicknames that derive from it. I would be surprised if people called her Guinevere consistently. If you're happy with people shortening it to those options then I'd say go ahead!

It's my absolute favourite name for a girl and it would have been my DD's name if it hadn't clashed terribly with our surname.

Disappointed it seems to be getting more popular after the TV series 'You'.

Love it!
