Yes, it's a nice name. Unfortunately, I don't think most people would agree.

Winifred Alice
Winifred Eve
Winifred Elsa
Winifred Mary

Yup, it is a nice name. It manages to be both stern and playful, and it has great nicknames and a positive meaning.

Winifred Mina
Winifred Hannah
Winifred Zora
Winifred Nora
Winifred Mary

Winifred Mary

the winner from this lot. Something's a little congested about W. Nora... W. Hannah is quite nice though! W. Mary is just a relaxing, concise balance of buttoned-up and free.

Winifred Helen

Oops, I guess I should have started from the bottom today! Winifred Helen is a good one - very wise and appropriate.

Er, no, I don't think it's a nice name! Memories of my high-school science teacher, who was incompetent and, in self-defence probably, a martinet, ruined it for me for ever, and not even my friend's very pleasant little dachshund can convince me otherwise. It's a good dachshund name, though - it wiggles!

Wow, it does sound lovely on a dachshund!

Winifred Blythe
Winifred Harriet

Winifred Blythe

is the winner here. Though it's a bit blustery, it's very bright and free. Winifred Iris is interesting with the repeating Is, but in the end the flow is a bit... clicky? for me.

I don't actually like it...

Winifred Blodwen
Winifred Daisy
Winifred Heather
Winifred Olwen
Winifred Rosalba

Winifred Daisy

Despite the repeated Ds, the brightness of Daisy saps up a lot of the darkness of W. and makes for a very pleasant result with a lot of light and air in it.

Winifred Ruth

W. Hero is also quite cool. Something's a bit odd about W. Vega - I find Vega totally overpowering here, but I'm still interested in it.

A nice, quasi-modern combo with a solid architectural feel.

Winifred Lark

because I picked Jane up above. The d-L is a bit tricky, but Lark is such a bright, friendly companion to Winifred that it doesn't matter.

While I don't like any of the mns on their own (Lilac, I don't mind, but have never thought of as a personal name), Winnifred Pearl actually flows quite nicely.

- blaaaarg (blaaarg)

6/19/2013, 9:54 PM

Winifred Pearl

is the pick here. Winifred Doris is appealing, but I think the flow is a bit severe. Lilac is quite nice too.

Winifred Laura

is my favorite from this. Actually I think Laura Winifred is the best Laura combo available, but that's a Laura combo!

Winifred is old fashioned & spunky. I like it.

Winifred Genevieve

Genevieve and Margot are quite nice in the mn spot for this one.
