Re: Top Ten for May

Yeah, I would also assume that Gwendolyn is the most commonly used and thus the most classic spelling, but I was interested to see that on this unofficial list of 'most popular names in England and Wales in 1890', Gwendoline is ranked #112 and Gwendolen #198, whereas Gwendolyn doesn't appear on it at all: http://www.britishbabynames.com/blog/2012/09/top-200-most-popular-names-in-england-and-wales-in-1890.html Maybe the Gwendolyn spelling was/is more popular in the US?
