[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] is perfect
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] gets my vote! You can use [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] as a nn.
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] is lovely. [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] makes for a lovely nickname.
If you’re willing to change spelling though, might I suggest the original, [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f]? I think it looks nicer in general (the -lyn suffix tends to feel rather trendy-modern these days, toning down the lovely, regal, Arthurian sounding [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f]).
I think [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] is lovely and stylish and also like Shea Mary. The longer form [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] is too much for me - just not my style I suppose. I’m not so keen on the Shay spelling.
I think [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] flows the nicest. Plus, [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] is such a pretty name.
I adore [name_f]Gwen[/name_f]! [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] sounds fabulously feisty and retro-cool.
[name_f]Gwen[/name_f] and [name_f]Mary[/name_f] are my two very favourite girls’ names! I would go for the graceful, pearly [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] with [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] as a nn. The longer [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] balances out [name_f]Mary[/name_f] nicely, whereas [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] sounds a little choppy.
I love the name [name_u]Shea[/name_u]/[name_u]Shay[/name_u] but I think [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] flows so beautifully!
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] is really beautiful! And you can use [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] as a nickname.
I’m not sure if [name_f]Gwen[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] flows well and I also prefer [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] over [name_u]Shea[/name_u]/[name_u]Shay[/name_u].
Good luck!
