Oh they are both lovely! You can’t go wrong. For nicknames, I prefer [name]Evie[/name] for [name]Genevieve[/name], and [name]Gemma[/name] for [name]Gwendolyn[/name]. I think both [name]Evie[/name] and [name]Gemma[/name] sound nice with [name]Vince[/name]. I know I am not helping at all, am I?! Ok one…narrow down to one…
[name]Gwendolyn[/name] nn [name]Gemma[/name].
[name]Sheridan[/name] xo
No competition - [name]Vince[/name] and [name]Gwen[/name]!
[name]Gwendolyn[/name] is stunning!
[name]Genevieve[/name] is just too much name to me, and I really dislike the [name]Gen[/name]/[name]Jen[/name] nn possibilities.
I do love [name]Eve[/name], though
[name]Gwen[/name]… great nn!!!
Oh, [name]Gwendolyn[/name] for sure! I love both, really, but [name]Gwendolyn[/name] is so rare these days - not saying [name]Genevieve[/name] is common! - and [name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Hope[/name] sounds better than [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Hope[/name] to my ear…
[name]Lemon[/name]

Definitely [name]Genevieve[/name]!! It’s one of my favorites. I’ve never really liked [name]Gwendolyn[/name]; it just sounds so clunky, and the nn [name]Gwen[/name] seems dated… plus I would spell it the original way, [name]Gwendolen[/name]. I really love [name]Genevieve[/name] and [name]Vincent[/name] as a sibset, too!
I chose [name]Genevieve[/name], because I love the way it rolls off the tongue when said outloud, and I love the meaning: Welsh/Celtic for “woman of the people.”
For a nn, I would go with [name]Eve[/name]!
I love, love [name]Genevieve[/name] but I think it works better with another middle name, eg [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Kate[/name].
I do however think that [name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Hope[/name] is a beautiful combo.
[name]Hi[/name]!
I love both names! However, I think that [name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Hope[/name] flows a bit better, though [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Hope[/name] is still very pretty… On the other hand, I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name] with [name]Vincent[/name]! Have you considered [name]Eva[/name], [name]Gia[/name], [name]Gigi[/name], or Vee as nicknames?
If you aren’t set on [name]Hope[/name] as a middle name, what about [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Claire[/name] or [name]Genevieve[/name] [name]Grace[/name]?
Good luck!
I prefer [name]Gwendolyn[/name] or [name]Gwendolen[/name] mainly for the nickname dilemma you mentioned. [name]Gwen[/name] is a great name and sounds good with [name]Vince[/name].
It would have to be [name]Gwendolyn[/name] for me. It’s a stunning name and I don’t think there’s anyway you can avoid children in school shortening [name]Genevieve[/name] to [name]Gen[/name], even if you choose another nickname, it’s inevitable!
If you do use [name]Gwendolyn[/name], please don’t use the nn [name]Gemma[/name] is it is a completely different name that has no connection to [name]Gwendolyn[/name] and I think if you liked that name you would just use it in the first place! Nicknames I do like are [name]Gwen[/name], [name]Gwenna[/name], Gwenno, [name]Gwenny[/name] or [name]Lynn[/name]
