[name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] is lovely. [name]Blythe[/name] [name]Moon[/name] and [name]Maisie[/name] [name]Bryn[/name] are too hippie dippy for me.

I chose [name]Maisie[/name] [name]Bryn[/name]. I prefer the [name]Maisy[/name] spelling though. It’s just lovely, I’ve always liked [name]Maisy[/name].

[name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] is nice as well. A little too “foreign” sounding for me though. It’s pretty though.

[name]Blythe[/name] [name]Moon[/name] isn’t my style at all. [name]Blythe[/name] sounds really harsh to me and I’m not a fan of [name]Moon[/name].

I voted for [name]Blythe[/name] [name]Moon[/name], because [name]Blythe[/name] may end up growing on me, and [name]Moon[/name] is adorable! <3

Sorry, I said ‘none’.

I always focus on first names, since they get used way more often. I don’t like one-syllable ‘B’ names ([name]Blythe[/name], [name]Brynn[/name], [name]Blair[/name], etc) - they sound heavy and ugly to me. Ditto the ‘Gw’ names - [name]Gwendolyn[/name], [name]Gwyneth[/name], etc. [name]Maisy[/name] is sweet, but too cutesy for my liking - I don’t think it will age well.

(I was thinking of a recent meet-and-greet I attended at a commercial law firm. As a nearly-40-year-old women, I actually cringe at the thought of introducing myself to people as ‘[name]Maisie[/name]’.)

I voted for the [name]Maisie[/name] combo.

[name]Maisie[/name] [name]Bryn[/name]!

[name]Blythe[/name] [name]Moon[/name]- This is a little to nature-y for me. The meaning is nice, but… A bit too much.
[name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Fleur[/name]- I chose this one. I think it’s the right balence of nature and charm.
[name]Maisie[/name] [name]Bryn[/name]- I’ve never cared for [name]Maisie[/name], and it seems mismatched with [name]Bryn[/name].

[name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] all the way.

[name]Athena[/name]

[name]Blythe[/name] [name]Moon[/name] - I kind of like this name. It has a nice sound, - I’m not too concerned about the meaning.
[name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] - Sounds tad overdone, never liked [name]Gwendolyn[/name], it sounds heavy-ish. [name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] is quite enthralling, although, it conjures strong imagery of very nice things.
[name]Maisie[/name] [name]Bryn[/name] - I don’t really like this, it doesn’t go quite well together. So I like the spelling [name]Maisy[/name] [name]Bryn[/name] better. I like [name]Maisie[/name] and [name]Bryn[/name] in general, they’re adorable!

[name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] is very pretty! Pref. [name]Gwendolen[/name] though:)

system · July 5, 2012, 7:38am

[name]Gwendolyn[/name] Fluer is great! I don’t care for the other two - [name]Blythe[/name] [name]Moon[/name] because I don’t like [name]Blythe[/name] and I don’t care for the flow and [name]Maisie[/name] [name]Bryn[/name] is too cutesy.

Maybe another moon name with [name]Blythe[/name] to improve the flow?

nicole_1024 · July 5, 2012, 7:42am

I prefer the spelling [name]Gwendolen[/name]. As a result, I voted for [name]Blythe[/name] [name]Moon[/name].

mermaiden6 · July 5, 2012, 7:48am

I voted for [name]Gwendolyn[/name], though I’m with those who prefer the -en spelling. Sophisticated, but has cute nn potential.

I think [name]Blythe[/name] is lovely, and underused, and [name]Moon[/name] is one of my personal guilty pleasure names. It works beautifully in the middle spot and pairs nicely with [name]Blythe[/name].

Not a fan of [name]Maisie[/name] at all. I agree that it doesn’t seem like it would age well.

claireelise · July 5, 2012, 7:54am

[name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Blythe[/name] would be incredibly beautiful.

sugar_baby · July 5, 2012, 8:00am

[name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Fleur[/name] is a gorgeous combo.

edenlyla13 · July 5, 2012, 8:00am

[name]Maisie[/name] [name]Bryn[/name] for sure! [name]Gwen[/name] names are NMS and I can’t stand names like [name]Blythe[/name]

dedutchess · July 5, 2012, 9:56am

Hands down, [name]Gwendolyn[/name] [name]Fleur[/name]!!
