I'd say female. I've never met a male Gwen though I have known a few female Gwens.

 

[vi edit]

Never heard of a man named Gwen.

 

[MovingTarget]

female

 

[nageov3t]

I've never met or heard of a male named Gwen.

Gwen is definitely female. Guwaine pronounced 'Gwen' is definitely male. Also, Carrol is definitely male.

 

[HaxorNubcake]

definitely female

"Guwaine" is a playground ass-whopping wait to happen.

 

[So]

Female. A boy named gwen is not unlike a boy named sue.

Sorry, I didn't think the Welsh used vowels.

 

[pontifex]

short for Gwendolyn, or less likely, Guinevere.

never heard of a guy named Gwen. Glenn is the closest that I can think of to a male name that sounds like Gwen.

Hmmm... I asked because I have a fellow classmate named Gwen who is brilliant IMO, but a couple of us can't figure out whether or not he/she is male or female... it makes it difficult to address him/her since no one want to offend and alienate Gwen!

I haven't seen the name on paper, just heard during my professor's attendance call.

You could ask in a polite and non-offending way like "Yo dude, you got a vagina?"

 

[Farang]

You just wanted to say "androgynous."

 

[n7]

Female
