Irish/Scottish forms of Guinevere include Fionnabhair, Finnabair, Findabair, Fionnuir and, modernized/anglicized, Finora sometimes spelt Fennore.

I've seen Fionavar before, and I'm assuming it's a spelling of Fionnabhair? I'm not exactly an expert on Irish pronouncing...

Really? I find that interesting! I LOVE Fennore and Finora, but never knew they were considered to be related to Guinevere. Cool!
