I like Gwendolyn Jane. I think one syllable middle names have a nice flow to them. I love the name Gwendolyn, btw. ---

If she’s born in April (seems unlikely) call her ‘April’. If she’s born in May, call her ‘May’. If she’s born in June, call her ‘Constantine’. 🙂 ---

Congratulations! I’d suggest Cheri, but it doesn’t flow well with Gwendolyn. [sub]Maybe you should just dispense with Gwendolyn and name her Cheri? 🙂 [/sub] AW, quit with the rotten tomato throwing, I actually LIKE the name Gwendolyn. It was just a THOUGHT, for cryin’ out loud! 😃 ---

Gwendolyn Rose is now IN THE LEAD! Given an independent assist from my mom in an email. ---

I do not know what family names you have to work with but I thought of these that might work Gwendolyn Jean Gwendolyn Joan Gwendolyn Francis (The Gwen in our family is Gwendolyn Anne, but she has a four sylable last name starting with Mac. When her brother was born we tried to talk my sister into Angus but she wouldnt bite. He wound up with Patrick Dean) ---

“Gwendolyn OpalCat” has a nice ring to it… ---

Gwendolyn is a beautiful name! I love i! Personally, I like **Gwendolyn Elizabeth** , **Gwendolyn Eliza** , or **Gwendolyn Elise**. I really like the sound of a middle name that starts with a vowel. Of course, \*\*Gwendolyn Rose \*\* is nice, too, but somehow it doesn’t seem to flow as well to me. ---

“Gwendolyn Aria” is nice… but you probably want a more common name. ---

I like **Gwendolyn Rose** Old timey, classy. \*\*This hijack is sponsored in part by Shirley Ujest \*\* One of our friends named their first daughter **Emma Ivy** Ivy being after a Great-Great Grandma. When #2 daughter was born, the hubby always wanted a daughter named **Katherine Rose** to call her Katie Rose. (she is actually called Katie.) I joked with them about the **Ivy** and **Rose** being botanical themes and asked what would they do for a trump of a third girl names and they blurted out, cheerfully, " I know! \*\*Barbara Bush LastName. \*\* " \*This concludes this rambling message. Had this been a post of meaning you would have been directed to a point at a much faster rate. Thank you and have a nice day. \* [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-a-girl-gwendolyn-chance/241614.md?page=2)
