I like the name, although the spelling might be awkward. Gwenevieve, Gwenivieve, Gweniveve? Eh, maybe Gwenyvieve's not that bad.... Gwynevieve would be a slightly different mashup... I like it in general though. And I like Eirwyn.Arden is cool but not a fan of Grady or Grant.Robbie is too nicknamey for a full name.McKenzie Grey is sort of cool. I'd prefer Mackenzie though. McKenzie looks like a surname, while Mackenzie looks more first-namey.Jathan, is that like JATH-an or like Nathan with a J?
John Knox is a good set of middle names.Not sure what to think of Adalie Nikol. I think it looks a little strange; Nikol in particular looks truncated.

hm, I love Gwendolyn and I love Genevieve, but mashed up? Noooo I read it and keep wanting to say just one of the names. It like takes a lot of focus to say it how it's spelled; that's just so awkward! I kinda like Grady Grant-Arden as a combo, even though all those names on their own are nmsRobbie Lincoln isn't terrible except -bleh!- nn for a fn!McKenzie Grey is a protagonist in a YA novel.Jathan John Knox is a combo that sounds like a future assassin. I've seen Jathan once or twice in my local BAs too... Apparently it's another Bible name, just not a popular one (which is surprising cause it has that trendy feeling to it, you know?). Tbh, I like Jathan...Adalie Nikol just looks icky to me.

Gwenyvieve looks ridiculous and sounds ridiculous and all around makes me chuckle. I love Grey as a middle name. McKenzie Grey is very handsome, although I'd spell it Mackenzie Grey.

Gwenyvieve Eirwyn - the spelling of the first name's over-the-top. like they couldn't pick between Genevieve and Guinevere. Eirwyn's pretty.Grady Grant-Arden - a little weird, but not bad. if anything, it's too heavy on the "gr" sounds!Jathan John Knox - Jathan sounds like Jason said with a lisp to me. I wonder what the origin is, or if it's a twist on Nathan? John Knox is kind of cool

LOLReally, I laughed out loud at it. It is not a good mashup. Also, since Gwenhwyfar and Genevieve are uncommon, a mashup of them looks uneducated--like they thought that was a real name on its own and are trying to be all fantasy-ish... especially paired with Eirwen spelled that way.

Gwenyvieve looks like they couldn't make their mind. And it sounds even worse.
