Picking out a name for your child can feel like an impossible task, and things can get even more confusing once you reach out to others for their opinions on potential choices. A baby name you may love may hold very different connotations for friends and family.
One mum-to-be recently reached out for honest opinions on the name 'Gwendolen', a sweet Welsh name rooted in Arthurian legends of old. She personally thinks it's absolutely 'lovely', so was greatly surprised to learn many people felt it to be 'too posh' to use.
Taking to Mumsnet, where she goes by the username @LilacBlueCloud, the expectant mother asked fellow users for their 'thoughts on the name Gwendolen', adding that the nickname used would most likely be 'Gwen'. Not everyone was all that keen.
