Hello, friends! 
As the title implies, I am trying to compile a list of all of the [name_f]Gwen[/name_f]- and [name_m]Gwyn[/name_m]- names, so I decided to ask you all for some help doing so!
I’ve found I really have a soft spot for both [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] and [name_m]Gwyn[/name_m], and each time I come across new variants of them I end up adding them to my list, so I figured it’s time to just make one big Gwen/Gwyn list!
Although I’m sure I’m missing ones, so far I have…
[name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwyneira[/name_f]
Gwyniveth
Gwynola / Gwenola
[name_f]Gwenllian[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] (and all it’s many spellings)
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]
[name_f]Gwenfrewi[/name_f]
Gwenaëlle
[name_f]Gwenda[/name_f]
Gwenfair
Are there any other Gwen/Gwyn variants I should add to this list (apart from [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] and [name_m]Gwyn[/name_m] of course)?
Thank you in advance!

Gwennor came to mind - I’ll try to think of some more
Edit:
Gwenddydd
Tegwen (does this count - it’s got Gwen in it 
)
Gwennan
Gwenifred
Gwenhivar

I can’t think of any others aside from what you and @Greyblue mentioned, but I saw my Gwyniveth on your list and it made me smile! 
I’m so glad I went with it! I am not usually a fan of “modern invented names” but Gwyniveth just felt like an old-world/fairytale princess to me with all the right personal meaning combined into one! Not sure if you’d be interested in this but another name I had considered was a combination of Gwen/Gwyn + [name_f]Elise[/name_f] (Gwennalise/Gwynnelise/Gwynnalise or Gwenalise/Gwynelise). I also thought a combination of [name_m]Gwyn[/name_m] + [name_f]Evelia[/name_f] sounded beautiful but wasn’t sure on the spelling either!

@Greyblue Thank you so much! [name_f]Tegwen[/name_f] definitely counts! I really like Gwennor, Gwennan and Gwenifred and will be adding those to my personal Gwen/Gwyn list, but all of these will be added to the big one!
@ladyofthetower Yay! Gwyniveth is absolutely gorgeous and each time I see you mention her I just stop to marvel at how beautiful she is. I just had to add her to the list! Gwynelise and Gwynevelia are incredibly stunning! You have such a gift for making names. Speaking of which, I just adore your username too. Each time I see it I get excited. It’s so darned lovely!! Thank you for sharing your names with me! They’re definitely getting added to the list!

Maybe it’s essentially [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] or Gwennor, but I came across [name_f]Gwenore[/name_f] years ago and loved it! Behind the Name is saying it’s a variant of [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]. It feels like [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] + [name_f]Lenore[/name_f] and Arthurian [name_f]Princess[/name_f] and cozy storybook. I can’t think of any others besides what you mentioned but I did want to share [name_f]Gwenore[/name_f]! (Couldn’t find info on Gwennor so I wasn’t sure if it was etymologically related to my beloved Gwenore!)

@ashthedreamer Ooh, I love the [name_f]Gwenore[/name_f] spelling! It’s actually a bit more appealing to me than Gwennor. Feels more complete, almost! The [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] names can be so very grand they feel a little heavy for my personal preference in real life use, but the [name_f]Gwenore[/name_f] spelling is much cozier and a little more perhaps…practical? Thank you so much!

Gwenmarie? I think I invented it, but it has such a storybook feel!

@readingreverie - oh yay, I’m glad you like her! 
. She deserves to be loved. I think [name_f]Gwenora[/name_f] would be super lovely too, but I’ve never checked to see if she has any legitimacy.

I saw Gwenonwy on the forums a while ago and thought it was gorgeous. It’s Welsh meaning “lily of the valley.”

I don’t think Gwenhwyfar has been mentioned- She’s the welsh form of [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] and I think she’s so whispery and gorgeous. I also know a girl called just [name_f]Gwennie[/name_f] which is pretty sweet!

@Julie_NameNerd Ooh, that’s so unique! I love the meaning. Would be super cool to honor parents born in [name_f]May[/name_f]! Thank you!
@OctaviaMay Gwenhwyfar is super cool! Very elegant but still almost spunky and bouncy! [name_f]Gwennie[/name_f] as a full name is so sweet. Thank you!!

I like [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] but my daughter likes [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f]. She wanted to name a kid [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] but wont have one now due to climate change worries. I dont mind not having grandchildren. I still love to collect names.

[name_f]Lovely[/name_f]! Thanks for the reply!
Gwenanwy! I haven’t seen it mentioned yet, and it is by far one of my top Gwen/Gwyn names! Gwynevere is also my preferred spelling of [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]

@GreenEyes375 Gwenanwy is so lovely! I think I might prefer Gwynevere too! Thank you!!
@Lula-Rose [name_f]Gwenna[/name_f] and [name_f]Gwenora[/name_f] are so pretty! Thank you!
@ladyofthetower To be completely honest I would never guess that the name was invented. It’s so Arthurian princess / almost medieval to me! I love that balance too, although I usually lean towards a brave middle namer. I feel the same way about usernames as well. It’s an absolute nightmare to come up with one every time I make an account I luckily don’t hate my user on here, but I wish it was a little more elaborate (or at least had a reference to something)! So, I’m glad readingreverie gives off such nice imagery! Not to toot my own horn, but I feel like the vibe of it matches the aesthetic of my names well, so that’s always a relief

!) It feels so natural and perfect for me! Funny for a name nerd probably but usually coming up with a username for myself would just make me cringe!
