[Opinions] Guinevere
So I originally strongly disliked this name and the Arthurian legends didn't help it much either. But lately I've been watching a lot of Merlin (yes I know it's not that great of a show but neither is Glee really and I love that too) and the bad association held with Guinevere sort of neutralized itself out. Consequentially, I'm warming up to it as a GP. I don't think I'd ever use it unless I warmed up a lot to it and stuck it in as a middle name but I wanted to know other people's opinions/comments/combos. So far I have:Mary Guinevere
Iris Guinevere
Alice GuinevereGuinevere Ruth
Guinevere Maria
Guinevere Therese / Theresa
Guinevere Elanor
Guinevere LoretaAlso do you think Guin/Gwen is the only nickname for the name?

In The once and future king, TH White has Lancelot call Guinevere Jenny, once he's fallen for her. Can't see it myself, but perhaps you can.

I like Guinevere Mary, nn Gwyn. I knew a little girl with this name and we called her Gwennie. I always thought it was beautiful.

I think it's pretty and I love the Arthurian legend association, but I agree that it's more GP territory. I like your Alice Guinevere the best out of those, but my favorite combo with it is Eloise Guinevere. I don't like Gwen, though.

I was contemplating Ginny but thought it might have been a stretch. Maybe it's not =]
