I have an almost 3 year old niece, Corynne. Sister in law is pregnant again and they just found out it's a girl. Brother wants to name her Guinevere. Thankfully, my sister in law has a brain and has nixed that. I know two boys names they were talking about were Blake and Dylan. I'm hoping that they don't follow the God awful trend of using either of those names on a girl.

I will update when I find out what name they decide on.

What's wrong with Guinevere? It's a lovely name.

I second this. It's beautiful. Maybe a bit too ... I don't know, King Arthur-ish for me to ever use, but I love the name itself.

I agree.

I kind of like Guinevere. I think it would be way better than Blake or Dylan on a girl.

I like Guinevere much, much more than any of the other names you've mentioned.

I am probably the lone person in this comm that likes Blake on a girl.

Nope, I like it too!

I really like love Guinevere, and I don't terribly mind Blake on a girl, but Dylan is too much for me (probably because I don't like the name anyway). Corynne is the worst of the bunch, IMO; it seems super trendy.

But Guinevere is a great name. I teach a baby named Guinevere at my swimming classes, and they call her Gwen. It's so cute.

Corynne is awful. Guinevere would be much more tasteful, even though I dislike the name in itself.

Blake is tacky on a boy too, imo, but I love Dylan!!

I don't like Guinevere, it looks like Guinea, which looks like guinea pig. I love Blake on girls, I think it's so pretty. I'd love to use it. Dylan, I prefer more on boys, but don't object to it on girls.

I agree with most people here, the ugliest name on there is Corynne =S I am also big on guys names on girls... so Dylan and Blake are cute enough for me. There are boys names I do not like on girls, like David, John, Joseph but I do like Joe as a nn for Josephine or even Jordan. I used the name Damien on a female character and would loooove to name a girl that (though I doubt it'll happen xD)

I don't think Guinevere's terrible, though it is a bit much. They could call her Guin, at least.

I don't like Guinevere, but I really hate the nickname Gwen. Yuck.

I really like Guinevere, although I'm not sure it sounds wonderful in a sibset with Corynne. Blake and Dylan are both great too, though, and would be good with Corynne.

Guinevere is one of my favorite names of all time. :o(

I love Guinevere, maybe just for the nick name Gwen. Corynne, on the other hand, is totally heinous to me. Corinne wouldn't have been bad, but why the y? As far as I can tell (I looked it up at three different sites) Corynne isn't even a legit name. But, to each his own.

Guinevere is the only one that isn't at least a touch trashy...

i like corinne (spelled without the 'y')
i really hope she doesn't use blake or dylan for a girl either. =/ what about gwen instead of guinevere? or even vera?

instead of blake she could use blair and maybe instead of dylan she could use della? idk.

Oh! I love the name Guinevere.
Ginny would be such a cute nickname.

they could also go with a different spelling of Guinevere like Gwenivere or Gwenavere. What about Genevieve? I'm not a fan of Dylan or Blake on a girl
