Gwendolen?

[Lilacbluecloud]

Thoughts on the name Gwendolen please. Nickname likely 'Gwen'.

Love it. But I'm a big fan of Gwendoline Christie. I considered it for our DD as I wanted her to have a name that would suit a tall woman.

We went for Cerys in the end as she was so big when born I realised she needed a short name lol.

If Gwen doesn't go very well with the surname, I'd choose something else.

I like it Gwennie for when she's younger Gwen for when she's older x

Malory Towers!!

I'd say no.

I was thinking of Gwendolin the other day and I'm sure it's ready for a revival.
Lots of potential nicknames
Gwen
Gwennie
Gwendy knew a Gwendy as a child
Wendy
Dol
Dollie
Lin
Lennie

Go for it !

I love it! I really like Welsh names even though I’m not Welsh and have no connection. I also really like Gwen so you have the option of a shorten name too.

The name makes me think of Gwendoline Christie. Games of Thrones, Star Wars, Wednesday and more. She's fantastic!

Lovely. I know a little Gwen.

@Lilacbluecloud I read this and I think the name Gwendolen, Gwendolyn, Gwendalynn, or Gwendolin is a beautiful name for a baby girl and you can spell it any way that you want. She’s your baby, please don’t allow others to be rude to you or to your baby girl to be. This is your special time so enjoy it.
I had just popped in here to give you a positive feedback because somehow your post came up on a news clip. Well it hurt my feelings seeing the mean and rude comments that people were sending to you. I mean there were a couple polite comments but I just wanted to let you know it’s a beautiful name.
Take Care, Tina 🥰🧸

I love Gwen! I'm not sure which is the best /correct spelling of Gwendoline/Gwendolyn.

I think it means "fair haired" which is why I didn't use it for DD. All the old lady Gwendolyn I knew have passed away, but they were all people I greatly respected.

Do check out the books (they were reprinted not so long ago as DD had them), because you'll have seen from the number of replies that it's a strong association
