Torn between two

Kate070 · October 2013

We still have plenty of time to decide, and don't even know whether we're having a boy or a girl yet, but I'm interested to see which of our top two girl's names (if either!) people prefer. DH is leaning toward one, and I'm leaning toward the other.

TIA!

Love Carys

I do prefer the spelling of Gwyneth.

I'm having trouble choosing between that and Carys though. I know one Karis (misspelling of Carys), and no one named Gwyneth.

I feel like I hear more about Carys on here though.

ETA: Voted Gwenyth/Gwyneth

I've never seen Carys before so I went with Gwenyth which I do like

Thanks for the input! I'm glad no one has been too horrified by my names (at least so far!)

About the spelling of Gwenyth... I've seen a number of spellings, including Gwenedd (which in Welsh would have a slightly different pronounciation). Here's basically why I'd opt for Gwenyth over Gwyneth, from the namenerds site:

"In feminine names, the form is always Gwen, as in Gwennan, Gwenydd... etc.

In masculine names, the form is always Gwyn, as in Gwynfor"...

And since someone asked... originally I was all for Carys, but I've found myself leaning more toward Gwen lately. DH is still rooting for Carys.

Both great! I voted for Carys though because I really really love that name! I know a lot of people aren't familiar with it, so it will experience a lot of questions and mispronunciations, and for that reason I'm not sure I would use it in the fn spot... more guilty pleasure for me.
