Gwendolyne is a female first name.
Recently, the name Gwendolyne has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Gwendolyne. That means that a girl named Gwendolyne is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Gwendolyne. Girls named Gwendolyne have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 1,722 Gwendolyne ranked higher than ever in 1905. By comparison, there have been 94 years in which the first name Gwendolyne has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2017. In general, parents name their daughters Gwendolyne only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves really special!

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter G is quite rare as a first letter for girls' names: only 2.1% of all common girls' names in the US begin with a G. The most common first letters for girls' names are A and S, while U and X are the least common first letters of girls' names.
With ten letters, the name Gwendolyne is obviously a particularly long first name used in the U.S.: only 1.8% of all common first names have exactly ten letters. 98% of all first names are shorter, while only 0.6% of all boys’ and girls’ names need more than ten letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
This means that if 2.1% of all girls' names begin with a G, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are of course some names that begin with a G and are extremely popular, for example Grace, currently the most common girls' name with G.
If your name is Gwendolyne and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
