Gwendolyn is predominantly a female name in the United States, and has declined in use since the 1950s. There are approximately 80,000 people named Gwendolyn in the US today.
The name Gwendolyn's root letters are GWN.
When the gruff and growling elements of the letter G team up with the wild, weird, wise, and whimsical qualities of the letter W, it reflects the darker elements of an unconventional spiritual soul. And while these mysterious qualities are exacerbated by the negative qualities of the pessimistic letter N, (no, not, never, nary, and negative), the GWN personality retains its enigmatic charm even in the face of occasional lapses into pessimism and cynicism.
Gwendolyns are anything but pragmatists; they are dreamers of wild dreams and tempestuous lovers of the random universe. They are restless characters whose quirky ways make them eminently attractive to fellow thrill-seekers. And this adventurous theme is visible not only in their social lives, but it also infects their career choices and intimate relationships. Gwendolyns feel a compulsion to shake things up every few years or so -- maybe by moving to a new city, or by dropping a comfortable relationship, or by simply changing jobs.
It’s not that Gwendolyns are immune to anxiety, however, and there will be periods in their lives when they’ll seem frozen by the number of decisions they have to make. But unlike most people, Gwendolyns don’t exhibit much apprehension when they take their leaps into the unknown; they have too much confidence in their ability to land on their feet.
Maybe it’s symptomatic of the GWN’s right-brained tendencies that she’s drawn to creative outlets like writing and sketching, and music. When it comes to her career, the GWN should make sure that her work environment allows a healthy measure of self-expression and creative articulation. Her dramatic personality may lead her to the stage or send this plucky soul off on a wild adventure to join the Peace Corps. But no matter what she chooses, the GWN is happiest when she is in motion and the only thing she fears is having her future mapped out in concrete.
There's something charming about the GWN’s haphazard ways and she’s very aware of her appeal to the opposite sex. She’s liable to be an incorrigible flirt who prefers the mystery of a dark nightclub to the glare of a walk on the beach. Late night coffee shops are a particularly favorite haunt in which she can spend the night philosophizing about life, death and those unseen forces that shape our destinies.
If you’re going to have an intimate relationship with a GWN, be warned that it can be a tricky proposition. It’s a little like taking fruit from a cactus -- there’s always a tantalizing reward, but you’re going to have to shed some blood.
