Help[Opinions] Re: Gwendolen / Gwendolyn
in reply to a message by Silvie
I don't like the nickname Len on a girl. I think it's brilliant as a nickname for Leonard or Lennon (or several others), but on a girl it sounds...weirdly masculine in a way I don't like.
My favourite nickname for Gwendolen (which I prefer, though I pronunce both Gwendolyn and Gwendolen the same way) is currently Gwendy. While it looks stupid written out, I like how it sounds.
Gwen and Gwennie are my lest favourites, after Len. Wendy is probably my favourite of your list. Gwendolen could also become a Wennie, a Winnie (like in The Wonder Years--Winnie Cooper was a Gwendolyn, IIRC), or a Dolly. I like all of those nicknames (particularly Winnie) a great deal, too.
