If baby is your bundle of joy, why not tell the world through their name, Gaynelle? This modern feminine name is a combination of two other names, Gay and Nell, so your little one will have twice as many reasons to love it! Gay derives from the Old French word gai, meaning “happy” or “cheerful.” Nell is a shortened form of several names, including Ellen and Eleanor, so baby Gaynelle can add “radiant” and “brilliant” to their list of possible name meanings. Get ready to bask in the happiness and joy that only little Gaynelle can bring.
