Gwendolyn

Hi

Hubby and I are loving Gwendolyn at the moment. What do you think?
Is Ben 10's chum Gwen going to make it madly popular?
I think we would use Winnie as a nn as our other 4 have old and more unusual names so it would fit.

It is that or Hilda, Enid or Phyllis at the moment.

Lots of honest opinions please!

Malory Towers - prefer Darrell, now she was a 'spirited' girl

i think all the "wen" names are really pretty, i really like anwen but wouldn't have worked for us w/dd1's name and aelwen even more but it's just too lord of the rings to get away with now.

for some reason i would expect the -en spelling in wales, and the -yn as an english version, i think because most of the -yn welsh names i know are boys names. also i think the -en pronunciation is softer, prettier.

Not bad but I prefer Guinevere or Olwen

Like Gwen but Gwendolyn, for me, is the pathetic girl from Mallory Towers.

Sorry don't like Gwendolyn (sorry FAQ .

I think Jean would sit well with your other dc.

Loved the Mallory Towers books and DD has just finished the first too... but Gwendolyn has always reminded me of Windolene....???
