[Opinions] Re: Edwina
in reply to a message by Bex
Edwina could also give you Winnie as a nn, which I suppose you'd otherwise have got from Winifred. For that reason, I'd consider Edwina with either Daphne or Hilda, rather than Winifred.
I like either Edwina Daphne or Daphne Edwina - both are stylish and distinctive.
I've got powerful personal reasons for deploring Winifred, and a friend once told me that Hilda is gay slang for 'hideous', or maybe 'horrible', so that made me a bit sceptical about it. So I'd stay with the other two, but that's no reason why you should.
