I heart Glynis

---

I'm not the biggest Glenda fan because it makes me think of Glen Ford, an old Hollywood actor, and Glinda the Good Witch of the North in the Wizard of Oz. I'm more partial to Glenna than Glenda which makes little sense because it's even closer to Glen Ford. Go figure.

---

Glynis, on the other hand, I am head over heels in love with. It's just the sort of charming, slightly frumpy name that tickles my heart. Plus, I love watching old Glynis Johns movies. Glynis Muriel is faaaaaaaabulous. I love, love it. :-)

Glynis Muriel, Gwyneth Elinor and Gladys Hermione sound like they would live next door to each other very happily.

I prefer Glynis.

I'm not too keen on Glenda. I prefer Glenna. Glenda Penelope has a nice flow, though.

---

I like Glynis. I find it preferable to Gwyneth, which it reminds me of. Guinness did come to mind, but it's not that big of a deal. Glynis Muriel is a nice combo.

I think Glynis has a heroic, medieval feel, which is cool. Glenda on its own would sound icky and dated, but next to Glynis it is given a similar association.

---

Penelope matches the imagery (Homer!), but not Muriel, which I find too old-lady. Others may disagree.

---

I prefer Glynis Penelope to Glenda Penelope, because of the repeated en that others have mentioned.

---

A few combos:

---

Glenda Katrina
Glenda Ysabel
Glenda Danielle
Glenda Rolande
Glenda Willemina
Glenda Ivona
Glenda Dominique

Agree with Anneza that they work better switched, because of the repeated -en.
Do you like Glenys? I think I prefer it.
Glenys Anwen
Glenda Lucy
Glynis Catrin
Glenys Ffion
Glenda Elen
Glynis Lowri
Glenys Marigold
Glenys Myfanwy - now there's an old-lady name but somehow pretty anyway
Glenda Mared
Glynis Irene

I like Penelope a lot and Glynis sufficiently. But I think that Glenda Muriel (avoiding that repeated -en-) and Glynis Penelope work better.

---

I've got two Muriel cousins, but not even they can warm me up to it. I do like Mariel, though.

Aren't those Phoebe's terrifying paintings on "Friends?"

---

I feel like those were the two horrifically ugly paintings that Phoebe tried to give as gifts to Monica and Rachel. Regardless, they're extremely dated, IMO, and not in a way that indicates they'll ever be good ideas again. Glynis Muriel is unshakably an 85-year-old lady. You'd have to pick a much more modern name to make that usable. Glenda Penelope is both ancient and a parrot. :/ Sorry. I really think you should look for more contemporary MNs, or perhaps use Glenda and Glynis as MNs.

Juliana Glynis
Glynis Annora
Glenda Claire
Cassandra Glynis
Alexandra Glynis / Glynis Alexandra
Eliora Glenda
Elizabeth Glenda
Felicity Glenda
Glenda Lily
Samantha Glynis

Even with the modern MNs, they still seem just so out-of-date to me. :/
