What do you think of these names and which one do you like more?

Guinevere is a bit “out there”, and most people won’t know how to spell it!

If you go for Guinevere be prepared for a lifetime of both of you correcting both spelling and pronunciation. It gets tedious.

Annie or Anna or Bella are so much nicer than Gwen. Which is what she’d end up being called. What about Jennifer as the anglicised version?

Oh that's interesting: I never connected Guinevere with Jennifer.

ETA I prefer Annabel to Jennifer though.

I would say Guinevere, because it’s an amazing name. Would I have the guts to use it though? I’m not sure.
