[Opinions] Re: Gwen
in reply to a message by vigdis
Gah, how I hate when I page off a message I'm writing to look up a name, and page back and my message is gone.
Have you thought about Tegwen?
I like Gwenyth a lot, or just plain Gwen. I'd be most inclined to use Gwendolyn just because I'm most comfy with it.
Not sure what's up with needing full names, but I def have the syndrome, especially with boy names. I guess because short forms beg the question of what's it short for? and I would not like to bear a short form and have no answer to that.
Names I'd use that I'm not enamored of, and would use short form almost exclusively for address:
Gwendolyn or Gwenyth (Gwen)
Julia (Julie)
Edith or Eden (Edie)
Marjorie (Jorie)
Melanie (Mellie)
Teresa (Tess)
Angela (Angie)
Caroline (Carrie)
Elizabeth (Beth, Ellie, or Liz)
And a crapton of boy names I could put on that list too.
Names I'd use the short form as a full name:
Margot (it's a nickname form, right? not sure)
Kirsty
Sandra
Shelly
Sherry
