What would you expect for a sister to [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f]? I love [name_f]Adrienne[/name_f] & [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], but I don’t like the similar sounds they share. [name_f]Francesca[/name_f], [name_f]Juliette[/name_f], & [name_f]Viola[/name_f] have been long time favorites of mine. [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] is a new favorite, but I worry about length come school. We don’t use nn’s and our dd had a bit of a hard time with hers.

What other names would you pair with [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f], preferably that don’t end in N?

You don’t think they are too over the top together? I really do love [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f].

Wish I could get dh on board with [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] & [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f]. Clunky old lady names have my heart and I thought these would feel a bit more fresh for him, but no dice lol. I’m digging [name_u]Florence[/name_u], but I have a feeling that will feel too old for dh too. Great list!

[name_u]Dominique[/name_u] is lovely, unfortunately I have an uncle [name_m]Dominic[/name_m] that I would not like people to think we were honoring.

[name_f]Bernadette[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] has been my top name since we started ttc years ago, but I didn’t know if it felt too frumpy with [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f]. [name_u]Happy[/name_u] to see someone else mention it!

[name_f]Antoinette[/name_f] is interesting. I could see this growing on me. Loving this list!

I really don’t! I think it’s lovely
If you really love it and your dh is on board i say go for it! Same goes for [name_u]Florence[/name_u]

Aww i understand that my bf is the same with those
I looove [name_u]Florence[/name_u], it’s on my list too!
I’m just not totally a fan of [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] & [name_u]Florence[/name_u] together i think it has too many repeating letters and sounds for me
But if you love it that’s all that matters! Still a gorgeous set and hopefully it’s not too old for hubby

Thanks! I also like these suggestions from others, although again some might be a bit too outdated

I think Gwendolen & Evangeline are gorgeous! I also really love Francesca such a lovely name that I feel is very under appreciated. Juliette & Viola are also lovely but personally I would prefer a longer name with Gwendolen.

You’ve had a few suggestions so count any repeats as me being in agreement with the berries
Gwendolen and…

Liliana
Rosemary
