[name]Hi[/name] all, it’s [name]Alyssa[/name] back! DH and I thought we were done with having kids after our third child, [name]Natalia[/name], was born earlier this year, but we’ve begun throwing around the idea of having a fourth! We haven’t officially decided yet, but of course a name nerd like me is jumping at the idea! This time around I thought it’d be nice to honor a family member with the name, which is something we haven’t done with our other kids names. My mother’s name is [name]Loreen[/name], which I’ve never been a fan of, but I’d love to incorporate it into a future baby name if possible. What variations of [name]Loreen[/name] could you suggest? Some other family names I’d like variations of are [name]Michelle[/name], [name]Jane[/name], [name]Hannah[/name], and [name]Marilyn[/name]! We already have a boys name saved from our last pregnancy, so that won’t be needed! [name]Just[/name] a heads up, our other kids are Colson [name]Bennett[/name], [name]Briar[/name] [name]Avalon[/name], and [name]Natalia[/name] [name]Roslyn[/name]. A name I’ve been obsessing over lately is [name]Gwendolyn[/name], so middle name suggestions would be great, thanks!

[name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name] is a knockout! Also, do you like [name]Eileen[/name]? It might be a way of honoring your mother. [name]Hannah[/name] [name]Eileen[/name] sounds nice. Ultimately, I think [name]Gwendolyn[/name] goes with the rest of your sibset very nicely.

Hmm…
Well for variations:
[name]Loretta[/name]
[name]Lorelei[/name]
[name]Lori[/name]
Hannaliese (not sure the spelling of this one, but I know it’s a name)
[name]Linnet[/name]
[name]Linnea[/name]
[name]Marigold[/name]
[name]Marilee[/name]

I agree with the pp that [name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Jane[/name] sounds good!
