Thanks for your response. Like I mentioned to mirfak, I like the look of
Gwen a thousand times better than
Gwyn but I also dislike
Gwendolen (which seems clunky to me) so that's where my problem lies :/ Also, I'm not normally a fan of altered names either but "gwenith" is the Welsh word for "wheat" (which is why I like the imagery I get from it) so it's not necessarily and altered version of
Gwyneth.
