Guinevere
Today's Name of the Day is Guinevere. WDYT?
When I was a kid obsessed with Arthurian legend, I loved this name! I still like it, though I question how usable it is in real life - likely, a Guinevere would shorten her name to Gwen or Gwynne (Guin?). These days I actually prefer Morgana anyway.

I love it! It has a fantastically eccentric sound and a rich history.
Nice one.
I don't think it's useable in real life, but if you can, then by all means do so.

I like it. I love the name, the character isn't that cool though. Morgana is definitely better!
I think a Guinevere would probably go by Guin. Gwen would make more sense for Gwenhwyfar.

I don't really care for it. I think it sounds a bit dated and harsh and brings to mind a harridan-type filled with old money. Also, and perhaps strange to admit, has always reminded me of alcohol. Probably because of it's first four letters which is similar to the alcoholic drink, 'guinness'
I MUCH prefer Genevieve. I like the beginging and ending sound far more than Guinevere and I also think it just looks better written out.
