I *can't help* but think if Gwyneth Paltrow, who really has gotten so annoying though....</p> <p>On a side note, I also think her mom's name, Blythe, is really pretty:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-name-gwyneth#post-2037344 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 10:55:43 +0000 youboots 2037344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was one of the 3 names my parents considered for me and we have it on our long list.

I initially thought it was Gwenyth, and sent that to DH. And he was like, you mean Gwyneth? So, we would have to work out the spelling over the next 19 weeks lol! </p> <p>@lawbee11: @loki: @autumnlove: I need it to flow with Joann! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-name-gwyneth#post-2037236 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 10:17:17 +0000 LaughLines 2037236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This and Gwendolyn are on our list - love it! I just have a weird thing about not liking names with y's in them... and i would prefer the NN be spelled Gwen, not Gwyn, so those little details were throwing me off. </p> <p>Overall i think the name is very strong/sophisticated </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-name-gwyneth#post-2037222 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 10:11:40 +0000 lawbee11 2037222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't love the full name but I love love Gwen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-name-gwyneth#post-2037221 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 10:10:48 +0000 loki 2037221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't love the full name but we considered Gwen! i think it's so cute for a little one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-name-gwyneth#post-2037219 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 10:08:02 +0000 loveisstrange 2037219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gwyneth is really pretty and Gwynie is an adorable nn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-name-gwyneth#post-2037214 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 10:06:39 +0000 avivoca 2037214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it.

I used to babysit for a Gwen whose given name was Gwenyth. Gwyn is pretty sweet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-like-the-name-gwyneth#post-2037184 Fri, 23 Jan 2015 09:49:56 +0000 dc yoga bee 2037184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually saw a commercial for a new movie with Gwyneth Paltrow in it, and the name struck a cord with me, and when I text it to DH, he likes it too. It's rare for us to agree on a name. We were leaning towards Ellie, but don't want to use Ellie with our -ley last name. I don't want to write off Gwyneth because a 40+ year old celebrity people don't like has the same name, and she surely can't be the only Gwyneth :p .Nickname would be Gwynn or Gwynnie (leaning towards Gwyn).</p> <p>ETA: Middle name is Joann, so that's why we would use the full name Gwyneth instead of Gwyn Joann/ Gwyndelon Joann, which I don't like the flow of. </p>
