Good middle for Gwendolyn AND Gwen?

Girl Names
1

So if we have a girl in [name]January[/name], [name]Gwendolyn[/name]/[name]Gwen[/name] is the only name DH and I have agreed on at all. I like the middle name [name]Elise[/name], but I have a friend with that middle - and if I am going to name a baby after someone it would be family. I just want something that sounds good wether she goes by [name]Gwendolyn[/name] or [name]Gwen[/name].
[name]Gwen[/name] [name]Elise[/name]
[name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Elise[/name]
I think I prefer 2 syllables. Last name is like [name]Robinson[/name] ;). Help me, O wise Berries!

I think these suggestions fit with both [name]Gwen[/name] and [name]Gwendolyn[/name], but I have preferences, probably because of syllable count/last letters. :slight_smile:

Sound a little better with [name]Gwen[/name]:
[name]Gwen[/name] [name]Parisa[/name]
[name]Gwen[/name] [name]Amaya[/name]
[name]Gwen[/name] [name]Carina[/name]

Sounds a little better with [name]Gwendolyn[/name]:
[name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Mira[/name]
[name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Maya[/name]
[name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Autumn[/name]

I like with both:
[name]Gwen[/name]/[name]Gwendolyn[/name]-
[name]Cerise[/name]
[name]Celine[/name]
[name]Maeva[/name]
[name]Calla[/name]
[name]Adair[/name]

Hmmmm, how about:
[name]Sofia[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Adora[/name]
[name]Alyssa[/name]
[name]Azura[/name]
[name]Brielle[/name]
[name]Calista[/name]
[name]Lorelei[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name]
[name]Poppy[/name]
[name]Portia[/name]
[name]Tamsin[/name]
[name]Hannah[/name]
[name]Sable[/name]
[name]Elaine[/name]

If you like [name]Elise[/name], what about [name]Elsie[/name] or [name]Eloise[/name]?

Here are some others that I think work with [name]BOTH[/name] [name]Gwendolyn[/name] and [name]Gwen[/name]:
[name]Rebecca[/name]
[name]Julia[/name]
[name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Adair[/name]
[name]Michelle[/name]
[name]Camille[/name]
[name]Meredith[/name]
[name]Chelsea[/name]
[name]Eliza[/name]
[name]Amy[/name]
[name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name] or [name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Fiona[/name]

I know that’s a real mish-mash of name styles, but I’m not really sure of your style, so I thought I’d throw anything I thought of out there. I think 2 syllable names work best, but as you can see, I have lots of 3 syllable choices on the list too. [name]Just[/name] no 1-syllables.

Thanks for the suggestions! I really prefer 2 syllables because I don’t want 3-3-3 syllables. I thought of this that I love:
[name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Adele[/name] [name]Robinson[/name]
[name]Gwen[/name] [name]Adele[/name] [name]Robinson[/name]
