So, here’s the list of some uncommon names we have gathered to make it easier for you to name your child.

Gwen is the shorter form of Gwendolen or Gwenyth. These are also Welsh names which can be translated to ‘white circle’ and ‘white’ respectively. Gwen goes well as both first names as well as a nickname.
