[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] is cute, but I do think it is a little bit grand next to your other kids’ names

How about…

[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] / [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] nn [name_f]Gwen[/name_f], [name_f]Gwennie[/name_f], [name_u]Lennie[/name_u], [name_f]Lynnie[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f] nn [name_u]Gwyn[/name_u], Gwynnie, [name_f]Ettie[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] nn [name_f]Gen[/name_f], [name_f]Genny[/name_f], [name_f]Vivi[/name_f]

[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f]
[name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f]

Best of luck!!

It is a bit grand / uncommon / long compared to the other kids, but [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] is absolutely stunning and ethereal (admittedly, I am a bit biased. I have both names on my own list)
I’d almost consider it a shame not to use it, unless the sibset matching is super important to you. [name_f]Vera[/name_f] from your nn options fits well though. Best of luck~

Bummer! It was a reason I’d taken it off long ago, for fear of it being too matchy to [name_m]Ben[/name_m] and too grand to the others. I admit my naming style has changed quite a bit since 10~ years ago. I really do love this one however

I felt [name_u]Guin[/name_u] (Gw-ihn) vs [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] (Gw-ehn) was less matchy to [name_m]Ben[/name_m]. [name_m]Ben[/name_m] and [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] were a bit much for me even though I do like [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] somewhat as well.
I can’t use [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] as a friend has used it, it’s also beautiful though

Maybe [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] instead

[name_m]Ah[/name_m] you’re so right, I also didn’t realize how close [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] and [name_u]Benjamin[/name_u] sounded when I typed this out

A little different, but maybe you’d like [name_f]Rosaline[/name_f] nn [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] or [name_f]Lindy[/name_f]? Same kinda vibes as [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f], but a little more connected to your childrens’ names :slight_smile:

Other ideas:

[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] nn [name_f]Winnie[/name_f], [name_u]Freddie[/name_u], or [name_f]Wendie[/name_f]
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Annie[/name_f], [name_m]Stassie[/name_m]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] nn [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Evie[/name_f], [name_u]Evan[/name_u]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] nn [name_u]Penny[/name_u], [name_f]Nell[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] nn [name_f]Bea[/name_f], [name_u]Tris[/name_u]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] nn [name_u]Josie[/name_u], [name_u]Jo[/name_u], [name_f]Posie[/name_f] (I love this one with your sibset!!)
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Cece[/name_f], [name_f]Lia[/name_f]

[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] is gorgeous!

[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] is quite nice - doesn’t quite sing for me, but it is distinctive and interesting

I love [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]! Absolutely stunning, evokes magic and natural beauty, and it’s unusual but familiar. I also find it really enjoyable to say. I think it has a very distinct sound, so it flows well with lots of middles. [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] is strong and regal, so a lovely choice! For nns I also love [name_f]Evie[/name_f] and [name_f]Eri[/name_f]!

[name_u]Love[/name_u] both [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] and [name_f]Diana[/name_f] individually but as a combo they stray just a little too much into stuffy territory for me. I’m also not keen on [name_u]Guin[/name_u].
