I have been crushing on this name currently. Flows so beautifully, written down is gorgeous and I love the nickname potential. I don’t like the meaning though. can anyone elaborate on Gwendolyn’s meaning? Also middle names?

In terms of meaning, “white/blessed ring” or “blessed/white loop”, I think you could link it to a halo, like a white ring around the head, or a loop, as in a connection, a chain, so like, a blessed, important connection?

First association I have with [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] is the poet, [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] [name_m]Brooks[/name_m], also [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] [name_f]Stacy[/name_f] from Spiderman. The name has a timeless, vintage quality without feeling stuffy. [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] sounds like [name_m]Glen[/name_m] so it has some of the same qualities as a nature name without feeling too granola. One of my favorite names.
