What does this name convey to you?

[avariceandlatinos]

Random name pulled from the internet, i'm just fascinated by what names convey about a person (perhaps often falsely!)

Ok, imagine this young girl or woman.
What does the name suggest about the parents?
What would you imagine this person to look/act like?
What would you imagine was her social background?
Country of origin?
What would you imagine was their profession or educational level?

Guinevere Fenton-StClair

i'm curious because it seemed so remarkably odd.

Private education

Father a lawyer/Mum SAHM/lady who lunches

Obnoxious kid who is spoilt and does many many after school activities

Rides a pony

British

will achieve a lot in life

I'd wait to meet her in person before I form a judgement .

It is too easy to jump to conclusions about people's personalities based solely on their name, especially for people from other cultures where names have different associations.

Father: economist
Mother: languages expert
Strawberry blonde hair
Slim
Middle class
Celtic roots
Ecologist

It's a game isn't it?

character in an enid blyton school story.

probably shortened to gwyn and the skool tomboy/carlotta-type character

she is a 17 or 18yo English rah with flicky hair, a Jack Wills hoodie, lots of eyemakeup and a kaffir

at a frightfully nice school that is trendy rather than academic. Not Wycombe Abbey. Benenden? Wherever it is she wishes it was co-ed rather than all girls.

her friends call her Guin

she wants to go to art college but her Gap year abroad may inspire her to change her mind and study Sanskrit or something

her father is something in the City and her mother is a psychologist or a counsellor something (did a history or classics degree but retrained after the kids went to school).

Thought you were asking about the name 'Random' there was going to say it will be shortened to Randy.

she's the daughter of a working class mum with aspirations to lower middle classness. Mum has amalgamated her surname with her husband's when they married because it sounds posher. They chose Guinevere because it's pretty and they had a medieval themed wedding.
Dad is a salesman and mum works part time as an accounts assistant. Guinevere goes to the local primary and loves pink, and mum gets most of her clothes from next.

in a word - aristocracy.

Or that her parents were cultural history/art histoy/literature students

Its a bit pompous

How about changing the middle name to 'Renton' as a corrective?

OMG, but I wouldn't judge her personality on her name - just maybe a pen portait of her parents.

Or for modern kids - the Ben 10 reference is probably more profound

she's a character in a Mills and Boon.
She's a PA to an aloof mysterious darkly handsome man called Garth who fails to recognise her beauty.
