Reply Alisa Apr 9 at 11:14 am Are you sure Gwen is just a girl name because I have a little brother and his name is Gwen. Reply My grandfather in N.Z. was named Gwen, he was born in the 1880's May 9 at 7:46 am Wish I had chosen that name for my son!

Reply Carol Matesich Mar 5 at 10:28 am We selected the name Gwen for a daughter while my husband and I were dating! We didn’t find out the gender during pregnancy and then when she was born we were shocked that she was a girl because we both thought she would be a boy 😛 Reply Cassie Aug 29 at 1:18 am My great grandmothers name.
