I love the name Gweniffer, WDYT? Also, how about Gwyniffer? Gwen, Gwyn? And do you like Gwendolyn?

I like Gwen and Gwyn by themselves, and Guinevere (NN - Gwyn)

I think Gwendolyn nn Gwen is nice, but I really dislike Gweniffer. Out of the two, I'd say Gweniffer nn Gwen is nicer than Gwyniffer nn Gwyn.

Gweniffer sounds too much like those horrible mix-names the tabloids have been using to refer to celebrity couples, like TomKat or Brangelina...maybe a cross between Gwenyth Paltrow and Jennifer Anniston? :o

I much prefer Gwendolyn nn Gwyn. Gwyneth sounds very elegant too.

Agreed! There are way too many ridiculous mized names. I would just use something that has history and practicality.

Gwynedd / Gwyneth are lovely, as is Gwenhwyfar (the original Welsh version of Guinevere) as are Olwen, Morwen, Rhonwen, Gwendolen, Bronwen, Ceinwen, and a slew of other names related to Gwen.

I think I prefer Gwendolyn as Gweniffer sounds a bit odd to me. I don't paticulary like Gwen on it's own as its a bit too short I think it works much better as a nickname. Personally I prefer Guinevere with the nickname Gwyn.
