    Middle name for Gwen or Gweneth

    I am currently 28 weeks pregnant with my third babe. Our first girl is Ellie Layne, and our second is Raya Michelle. For a boy we have chosen the name Colton Graham (n.n Cole). For a Girl name we have finally decided on Gwen. I don't care for the traditional long forms of Gwen, however, I do like Gwyneth. But I'm afraid the n.n would be Wynnie opposed to Gwen. So our options are either to stay with the name Gwen, but finding a middle name that flows nicely will not be easy, or to name her Gweneth which is a little on the Cre8ive side,....
    So really, I'm looking for opinions on Gwen, or Gweneth, and middle names that flow nicely with them.

    Thanks!

    Your daughters have lovely names. Gwen is no exception. Its beautiful. I think you'll get the nn Gwen with Gweneth as opposed to Winnie. But like you said, if you just go with Gwen, you'll have no worry of that at all..

    Heres a few to think over
    Gwen Giovanna Blank

    Gwen Arianna Blank

    Gwen Shaylee Blank

    Gwen Olivia Blank

    Gwen Emerson Blank

    Gwen Giacobba Blank

    Have you ever hear the singer Graham Colton?

    Good luck

    i think Gwen by itself fits nicely with your other girls' names. the middle names that flow best in my head are mostly 2 syllables, with the emphasis on the second syllable. what about

    Gwen Marie
    Gwen Elizabeth
    Gwen Elyse
    Gwen Haley
    Gwen Ivy
    Gwen Charlotte

    I'll just chime in here since I have a little Gwyneth. I had the nn problem too. When she was first born, we were spelling her nn as "Gwen". However, I got a couple questions from some well-intentioned confused friends. Logically, spelling it "Gwyn" made more sense to most people that I encountered. In the long run, it probably wouldn't matter too much. I do think that Gwen or Gwyn is a much more natural nn for Gwyneth than Winnie. Although, we do call her Gwynnie a lot. I had a co-worker with this problem too. She wanted to get to Gwen. She ended up spelling it Gwenyth, which I would probably prefer over Gweneth. There have been a lot of great middle name suggestions already. I've got a Gwyneth Susannah, and my co-worker has a Gwenyth Marie. Good luck!
