I'm totally with you, at least on the "Gwen" names. For example, I know that Guinevere is the proper spelling, but I really prefer Gwenevere because it lends itself to the nn Gwen so well, a name I've been in love with for about 7 years. Also, I think that Gwenyth makes a bit more phonetical sense to people not as knowledgeble about Welsh names. I'm generally not as wild about Elliot as a name, but that's just personal style. Eli is totally fine as a nickname. I know a boy named Zachary who goes by the nickname Zack instead of Zach. No big deal to me. And yes, Gwyneth (or rather Gwenyth) and Elliot sound fine as a sibet. I think that Elliot leaves a little to be desired when paired with such a stunning name as Gwyneth, but again, that's just me.
