My husband won't give any input until we meet her which is making me crazy so the names were taking to the hospital are
Tess
Gwyneth (Gwen)
Clare
Keira
As a teacher, I have definitely seen a pattern of personality traits/expectations with names and students. I've never had a student named any of these so I was curious what you thought. or just any thoughts on the names. I wish I was one of those people that had a definitive name set before birth!!

Re: What personality do you think would go with these names?
I'm not sure what personality types would go with those names since I have not seen a pattern with those names. I am clinical psychologist, and I also have seen certain personality traits associated with certain names. I specialize in eating disorders, and it is very interesting to notice what more of the common names of the patients I see are.
I agree with you that there are definitely a pattern with names and personalities.
Tess-Flirty, outspoken
Gwyneth (Gwen)- quiet, serious
Clare- Very sweet, gentle
Keira- Fun, sporty
I'll just do one work associations:
Tess: witty
Gwyneth: kind
Clare: smart
Keira: annoying
Gwen - Pretty, precise, always listening.
Clare - Intelligent, sweet, intuitive.
Keira - Confident, outspoken, independent.
I am also a teacher but I have not known students with all of the names below. However, I still associate some personality traits or characteristics with them.
Tess- spunky, smart, friendly, popular
Gwyneth (Gwen) - reserved, perhaps a little nerdy
Clare - sweet, caring, gentle
Keira - boisterous, a little "too much" to handle
BFP #1 09/02/11 M/C 09/12/11 8w6days
BFP #2 07/18/12 Baby S born on his EDD 03/23/13
SS - age 12...SD - age 8...DS - 13 mos.
I'm admittedly curious- what are some of the common names you see?
That's interesting - which names would you say are the most common?
BFP1: DD1 born April 2011 at 34w1d via unplanned c/s due to HELLP, DVT 1 week PP
BFP3: DD2 born Feb 2013 at 38w4d via unplanned RCS due to uterine dehiscence
Gwyneth - quiet, smart
Clare - spunky again
Keira - my only association is Keira Knightley, and I strongly dislike her, so it's not positive for me.
Gwyneth - a thinker, sweet
Clare - admired, classy
Keira - loud and spoiled (sorry, bad association here)
Tess, Gwyneth, Clare all seem like snotty popular girls with parents who hang out at country clubs and look down on people.
Keira -- white trash, high school hooker. I knew someone with that name in high school and she fit that description EXACTLY, so that's what I think of.
For Tess, all I can think of is Thomas Hardy's novel Tess of the D'Ubervilles and that is not a good association for Tess.
Gwyneth: Intelligent, quiet and thoughtful
Clare: Sweet and outgoing
Keira: Like most other pps I find this one to be more on the negative side. I've met 2 Keiras and both were egotistical.
Going by my patients with these names...
Tess- Love, BTW- Sweet, gets along with everyone
Gwyneth (Gwen)- snobby
Clare- classic, rich girl
Keira- Pretty, fun
I would make the same associations, except for Keira -- that is my name and it is interesting to see what traits people associate with it! FWIW, I don't think I am annoying, boisterous, egotistical, or a hooker
Tess: Popular and Slutty. Every Tess I have ever known was extremely promiscuous in high school and kind of a ***.
Gwyneth: Sweet, well spoken, maybe on the shy side.
Clare: I always think of the breakfast club when it's said that Claire is a fat girl's name. I don't know if that's true, since I don't know any Claire's, but that's my association.
Keira: Annoying.
