Help[Opinions] Edwina
Husband and I were tossing around the idea of Edwina last night. I'm not sure how much I like it. In theory, it suits us but we are both a bit undecided. The part that we both really like is that our grandfathers names are Edward and Edmund respectively and love the nickname Edie or Eddie.
1. Do you like Edwina?
2. Would it fit with potential siblings Daphne, Theodora, Rufus, Wilfred or Casper
3. What would a sibset to match with Edwina be? (2 girls, 2 boys)
4. What second middle name would you pair with Edwina ______ Hilda Arnold

Yeah, I like it alright.
What bothers me is the WEEN pronunciation. It's not very natural. I prefer Ed-WIN-a, and I might double the N to get it, but probably not - probably I'd just teach people.
Fits with Theodora okay, not so much with Daphne.
Fits with Wilfred and Casper, not so much Rufus.
Edwina and her sisters Muriel (or Mariel), Rosetta, Gillian, Florence, Ursula, Delphine, Millicent, Marjorie; bros Gilbert / Albert, Lewis, Roland, Christopher, Martin
Edwina Joan Hilda Arnold

1. Sorry, but I find Edwina really ugly! The sound is so unappealing to me.
2. I don't think the name would seem out of place with the other names mentioned, but I think you could find something nicer.
3. Edwina, Theodora, Rufus and Wilfred.
4. Edwina Josephine Hilda Arnold
Why not use Edie instead? I LOVE that name and the sound and vibe is so much nicer. Plus I think it goes better with the other names you like. Edie, Rufus and Daphne would be such an adorable sib set! Swoon!

1. I love Edwina! It just sounds so sweet.
2. I think it's lovely with all of those names as well as individually.
3. I'm thinking Edwina, Claudia, Marten, and Roy.
4. Yays for Hilda! (pretty sure I mentioned my love for Hilda before. Also pretty sure I mentioned that I'm usually terrible at coming up with names that work in three-name combos. Oh, well. I'll give 'er a go)
Edwina Loane Hilda Arnold
Edwina Renate Hilda Arnold
Edwina Maylis Hilda Arnold
Edwina Birgitta Hilda Arnold
Edwina Mary Hilda Arnold
Edwina Naomi Hilda Arnold
Edwina Melanie Hilda Arnold
Edwina and Hilda are hard for me to combo between. Still, I really dig them together!
