Too much? Usable as a middle name? As a first name?

I've never liked it- not sure why but something about it seems very stern?! although Genevieve is similar and imo much classier and prettier

I like it ...couldn’t use it as that is what my great aunt used to call girls parts...but I’m sure that was just a quirk of hers and not something other people do!

It’s growing on me. I haven’t come across anyone with the name. She will probably spend time spelling it to people, which can be tedious. However it happens with all sorts of names - Catherine, Claire, etc. Ann

I like it very much. I had a friend called Guinevere at school - never shortened.

I don’t like it but don’t hate it

First thing I though of was the lottery. Pretty sure that was the name of one of the machines.

I think it's really pretty 😊

I like it. Strong and evocative.

I like Genevieve, too.

There's another Welsh version of Guinevere, Gaenor. It's probably more popular than Gwenhwyfar, and is often anglicised as Gaynor. Gwenhwyfar is nice too.
