Is this name easy to say? And other suggestions

Girl Names

So, I have a top name for this little girl but want to make sure that most people find it easy to say. The name is…

[name]Gwyneth[/name]! - I [name]LOVE[/name] it and feel it’s perfect. Nn [name]Wynn[/name]/[name]Wynnie[/name]. But I also like [name]Gwen[/name]/[name]Gwennie[/name]. ** Which nn should I use?? ** I’m thinking of starting with [name]Wynn[/name]/[name]Wynnie[/name]. [name]How[/name] do you pronounce this name? And does the GW sound at the beginning or the TH sound at the end make this name annoying or at all hard to say? I think it’s ok. [name]Just[/name] want to be 100% sure. Mn will most likely be [name]Amelia[/name]. But I like [name]Madeleine[/name] as well. I also would use the full name too, do you think others will?

[name]Felicity[/name]: nn [name]CeCe[/name]. Mn [nameAutumn[/name]? But I also like [name]Fee[/name] and Liss. Does the full name feel long to say though? I like this name a LOT just worry about length and nn’s

*[name]Tessa[/name]: nn [name]Tess[/name]. Mn [name]Madeleine[/name] Why do I find this name to be “not enough?”. It’s great I just…feel like it’s missing something?

*[name]Tess[/name]: nn [name]Tessa[/name]. Mn [name]Amelia[/name].

*[name]Gwendolyn[/name]: nn [name]Gwen[/name]/[name]Gwennie[/name] or [name]Win[/name]/[name]Winnie[/name]. Think I like the short and sweet [name]Gwyneth[/name] best but not positive

Here’s what I want in a name: old fashioned vibe, not trending, not too popular or gaining popularity quickly. That’s why I think [name]Gwyneth[/name] is perfect for me. But want to make sure. *Are there ANY other names that you feel fit this criteria for me? Names that are now off my list: [name] Adelaide, Daphne Beatrix, Caroline, Cordelia, Delia, Eloise, Fiona, Georgia, Helena, Juliet, Matilda, Lola, Penelope, Ramona, Stella, Ivy, Dahlia [/name]. Names I like but are not for me [name] Eleanor, Nora, Eleanora, Clara, Cora, Katherine, Delphine, Annora, Georgianna, Scarlett[/name]

Thanks ladies!!

I really love [name]Gwyneth[/name]. I find it easy to say. I find the full [name]Gwyneth[/name] to be much more beautiful and solid than [name]Wynn[/name] or [name]Wynnie[/name]. I work with a [name]Gwen[/name], and I love this short form (we call her [name]Gwennie[/name] sometimes as a term of endearment). I don’t like [name]Felicity[/name] at all, but I do like [name]Tessa[/name]. Still [name]Gwyneth[/name] is the obvious front-runner, with [name]Gwendolyn[/name] second.

Good luck!

[name]Tessa[/name] is the best of them I don’t like [name]Gwyneth[/name] at all

4

[name]Tessa[/name] is my pick. Congrats!

5

I love [name]Gwyneth[/name]! It’s lovely, uncommon and classic. :slight_smile:

6

My cousins who are sisters are [name]Gwenyth[/name] and [name]Tess[/name]! we call them gwenie and tessie

I have a tendency to say Gweh-nith instead of Gwih-nith, but I think if you used the nn [name]Wynnie[/name] that would be reduced. I like [name]Gwyneth[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] a lot.

[name]Felicity[/name] really isn’t my style. It’s not a bad name, it’s just too frilly for me.

[name]Tess[/name]/[name]Tessa[/name] I like both of these a lot. I think it’s ‘enough’ it’s just short. I probably feels small because it’s used as a nn. [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Madeline[/name] is great.

[name]Gwyneth[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] is very lovely! I find [name]Gwyneth[/name] easy to say. I say the short “ih” sound vs. the “eh” sound at the beginning so [name]Wynnie[/name] makes perfect sense as a nickname. My second favorite on your list is [name]Tessa[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name].

9

[name]Gwendolyn[/name] just rolls off my tongue, so it’s my favourite on your list.

10

Thanks! I also say it as Gwin-ith. It’s definitely my favorite and I’m glad to see that you guys feel it’s easy to say. :). Wynn and Wynnie would be the nn’s which I find VERY easy to say. So I think this just might be…a perfect fit for me :). Still really like Gwendolyn but it is kinda long. Felicity is great but a bit frilly. And tessa is so cute! But feels like a nn to me :/. And yeah, Amelia is my favorite for mn’s.

I love [name]Gwyneth[/name], of course I also have a thing for names with a “th” sound in them so I don’t find it at all hard to pronounce. [name]Both[/name] [name]Gwen[/name] and [name]Winnie[/name] make cute nicknames, you’ll eventually settle on one once you’re holding your child in your arms.

If you think it’s the perfect name, then practice saying it a bunch of times to make sure it fits., maybe do the “Starbucks test” with the name. The more you said it out loud the more you’ll either like it or decide against it.

I think [name]Gwyneth[/name] is lovely! Not hard to say at all. I do love [name]Gwendolyn[/name] and [name]Tessa[/name] as well.

Thanks berries!!

I love the name [name]Gwyneth[/name]. I’ve been searching and searching…and searching! For the perfect name and I’m
Pretty sure I’ve just found it. I like my other top names but this one is standing out to me. I hope
It sticks. I am still going to keep [name]Felicity[/name] nn [name]CeCe[/name] for my top two until I settle
More into this new name on my list. I want to try it out.

Does anyone know what the Starbucks test is? Haha. Sorry clueless here but would like to try it

Thanks!

I know a woman named [name]Gwyneth[/name], mom of 3 boys, who always goes by [name]Gwyneth[/name]. It is beautiful and feminine and unusual–She’s the only [name]Gwyneth[/name] I’ve ever met. I think it’s a great choice.

Isn’t the Starbucks test saying just the first and last names out loud?

15

Aw thanks you for that feedback! And yeah, someone told me what that test wad and I’m gonna try it out :). [name]Glad[/name] to hear that the women you know goes by gwneth a lot too. Might also do it with felicity since those are my two top names. I think I’ll end up with [name]Gwyneth[/name] but I think it will help me make that decision.

16

I love [name]Gwyneth[/name]. In the same token I also love the names [name]Blythe[/name] and [name]Gwendolyn[/name].

[name]Gwyneth[/name] is very easy to say. I think most people will be familiar with the name due to [name]Gwyneth[/name] Paltrow’s fame. Like one of the previous posters, I do tend to say [name]GWEN[/name]-ith rather than [name]GWIN[/name]-ith, but it’s just laziness and the familiarity with [name]Gwen[/name], now that I actually believe it to be pronounced that way.

[name]Gwyneth[/name] [name]Amelia[/name] is gorgeous, seriously!

I also like [name]Gwendolyn[/name] and [name]Felicity[/name] ([name]Cece[/name] is cute). [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name] (I believe the correct pronunciation is mad-eh-[name]LEN[/name]) could be very pretty, but [name]Felicity[/name] [name]Autumn[/name] is also cute! I find [name]Tess[/name] a little to short and plain, but there is nothing particularly wrong with it!

18

I have a cousin named [name]Gwyneth[/name] and she nor her siblings have ever had trouble with the name.

As for [name]Tessa[/name], might I suggest [name]Tressa[/name] if you feel the former is not enough?
[name]Tressa[/name] is my name and I (obviously) love it

i love gwyneth. i like gwen over wynn. i think it’s perfectly fine to say. i think gwyneth amelia flows better.
felicity is pretty long, but pretty. i personally like fee or issy.
the others are okay, but nrms. i think gwyneth would make a great sister to violet. :slight_smile:
