Well I love [name]Gwen[/name] on it’s own, I think it works, but if that is a problem, why not consider [name]Gwendolyn[/name]? I’m not a fan of [name]Paige[/name], my cousin actually goes by this since she hates her first name, [name]Jordan[/name], since it’s a boy’s name, so [name]Paige[/name] felt better for her, she was never teased for it. I’m not a fan of [name]Blaire[/name] since it reminds me of [name]Blaire[/name] Witch…

I love [name]Gwen[/name], it can definitely stand on it’s own without sounding like a nickname! I’m not a huge fan of the name [name]Paige[/name], and it doesn’t really go with [name]Sloane[/name]. As for [name]Blaire[/name], I prefer it spelt [name]Blair[/name] but that’s just me, but I think it goes quite well with [name]Sloane[/name]. But hands down I think [name]Gwen[/name] is beautiful! (But if you want a full name and use [name]Gwen[/name] as a nickname, there a plenty of [name]Gwen[/name] names I could recommend!)

[name]Hope[/name] this helps!

I like [name]Gwen[/name] the best of the names on your list. I don’t think it’s too nicknamey, but it does seem a little more feminine than [name]Sloane[/name]. As a result, I voted for [name]Paige[/name] as the best sibset match. I’m not a [name]Blaire[/name] fan, but that would work too-- I don’t think it’s masculine, but it has kind of a stuck up connotation for me from its use on tv.

Some other one-syllable possibilities: [name]Blythe[/name], [name]Brett[/name], [name]Lee[/name], [name]Faye[/name], [name]May[/name], [name]Bea[/name], [name]Hope[/name], [name]True[/name], [name]Rue[/name], [name]Eve[/name], [name]Sage[/name], [name]Drew[/name], [name]Greer[/name].
There are several others ending in -N, but they might be a little close: [name]Fern[/name], [name]June[/name], [name]Anne[/name], [name]Brynn[/name], [name]Winn[/name].

1 [name]Gwen[/name]
2 [name]Paige[/name]
3 [name]Blaire[/name]

Well, coming from someone named [name]Blaire[/name]… I love my name and I’ve never felt less girly because of it. I also have never gotten any remarks about being snobby/rude. People’s images of names change when they actually meet a person with the name. I’ve always gotten compliments on my name. [name]Paige[/name] and [name]Gwen[/name] are nice names, but I meet a lot of [name]Paige[/name]'s and a few [name]Gwen[/name]'s. I’ve never met another person named [name]Blaire[/name]. Not once. So, you can take that into consideration.

  1. [name]Paige[/name] - my favorite for the sib-set.

  2. [name]Blaire[/name]

  3. [name]Gwen[/name] - I prefer the long form of [name]Gwendolyn[/name]/[name]Gwendolen[/name] or [name]Guinevere[/name] nn [name]Gwen[/name] - [name]Gwendolyn[/name]/[name]Gwendolen[/name] would get second place.

[name]Blaire[/name] is my favorite with [name]Sloane[/name]. It actually strikes me as perfectly feminine and refined on a girl.
[name]Paige[/name] is a close second.

For some reason [name]Sloane[/name] & [name]Gwen[/name] don’t match as well for me.

My vote is for [name]Blaire[/name]! It’s a gorgeous name. It makes me think a beautiful and smart woman. I agree with rowan sometimes your perception of a name changes when you meet someone with that name. There is a girl on YouTube called juicystar07. She’s really cute and confident. I think if you watch a video of her’s it may give you an idea of the name on a person. :smiley:

Blaire for sure! Of course you like your daughter’s name more now than when you chose it – now it’s the name of your little girl. Soon it will be that way with another name.

If you check out my siggy, you’ll see that I adore 1-syllable names. I would warn against picking a longer name to shorten to Gwen because it might not work out that way. My Katharine was suppose to be Kate but it didn’t work out that way and most of the family calls her by her full name (or Kat.)

I think that [name]Sloane[/name] and [name]Paige[/name] make a perfect sibset, so I voted for [name]Paige[/name]. I think that [name]Sloane[/name] and [name]Blaire[/name] sounds nice as well. [name]Even[/name] though I prefer [name]Gwen[/name] to [name]Blaire[/name], I don’t think that it goes as well with [name]Sloane[/name].
Good luck!

I’ve recently become a big fan of [name]Blaire[/name], and I think it goes great with [name]Sloane[/name].

Some alternatives: [name]Blythe[/name], [name]Leith[/name], [name]Maeve[/name],

[name]Gwen[/name] can absolutely stand on her own! [name]Gwen[/name] & [name]Sloane[/name] are a match made in heaven in my book. Second choice would be [name]Blair[/name]. [name]Do[/name] not like [name]Paige[/name].

Hmmm…not really keen on any of these. What about a two syllable but short name. If I had to choose one then I would choose [name]Gwen[/name].

I think [name]Blaire[/name] sounds the best. If I could suggest a name though, it would be [name]Greer[/name].

I like [name]Blair[/name], but spelled like that. What about [name]Greer[/name]?

[name]Lovely[/name] suggestions lori johnson! From our OP’s list I love [name]Paige[/name].
