[Opinions] Wynne
Would it be better off as nickname for Winifred? (but then you would write Win I presume)
Replies
To honour a Winifred it's fine - though nms I also think it's quite nice apart from that, fitting today's trends.
It puts me in mind of British actress Meg Wynn Owen, though in her case it must be a family surname. Shows how good Wynne might sound with another short name in front of it, though,
e.g.
Adele Wynne
Claire Wynne
Lyra Wynne
Maeve Wynne
Ruth Wynne

I like it but it sounds like 'win' way too much. I prefer Lynne.
I like Winifred, too, but I'd call her Winnie.

I far prefer Wynne to Winifred! It's a good name that I keep overlooking. I had a classmate at uni whose sister was a Wynne, but I never met her and I've never encountered another one. She always seemed to be called Wynne, never Winnie.
I think it's a beautiful name on it's own. Sure, it's a fine nickname as well, but I've never met anyone named Winifred, while Wynne sounds almost modern.
Wynne doesn't do anything for me, but I love Winifred!
If you have an imagination, Wilhelmine, Wilhelmina, Willemina, or possibly a name that does not begin with W could be doable.
I could even see myself liking it in masculine context.
Wynne is a nice name (it makes me think of Dragon Age), but do to it's simplicity I wonder if it would be better as a middle name. For Winifred / Winnifred, I'd use Win.

I love the name Wynne. :) It's on of my favorites! Winifred is also nice, but I like Wynne more.
