I like it, but wouldn't know how to pronounce it right away. If that's a concern then it might be an issue.

I used to really like this name a lot. Now not too much.

At one point, Guinevere was my favorite name. It's rare but still recognizable, since the legend of King Arthur is still largely in the public conscious (mainly through movies and TV shows nowadays). And I do like "Gwynne / Gwen" as nicknames.Currently, though, this is a middle name in my Top 10, for the combo Raquel Guinevere. I think it's a pleasant surprise to find as a middle.

I don't like the "gwen" sound, but I do like how romantic it is. But overall I'd have to say thumbs down because she might be called Gwen a lot. It's certainly more fresh than Jennifer.

I love Guinevere and would use it happily if it weren't too plebian for my DH.
I think it's elegant & pretty.

Dislike the sound of it.My father wanted me to be called Guinevere....luckily my mother wouldn't have it!

I love Guinevere, she’s on my shortlist after rewatching some of Merlin. Unusual but familiar, gorgeous sound, pretty but with substance, and great imagery.

Hi A !!!I love Guinevere!I like this name since I was a child firstly thanks to its Italian variant Ginevra and then with its original form.Guinevere is fantastic, shining, poetic but still youthful.I hate the form Jennifer though.
