[Opinions] Bronte and Rowenda
I met someone (20s, female, American) named Bronte recently and saw Rowenda on a playlist. Both are new to me. Thoughts on them?

They're not my style, but I kind of like them.
I'd like Rowenda more, if Rowena and Wendy did not exist.
I dislike the sound of Bronte and the fact that it's the name of the authors makes me eyeroll, but otherwise it somehow is still appealing. Like Bronwen, but the pronounced final E and the 'tee' ending seem cool and modernish.

I like them (and I also like them together now that I think about it). I've met one girl named Bronte. I guess it's a GP, I don't really think it sounds like a good first name but I'd like it as a mn.
Rowenda sounds mature and I prefer Rowenna, but it has a similar vobe to Glenda (but less dated) and can be called Wendy.

Horrendous, in their different ways. If Bronte shortens to Bron it would help, but then, why not just settle for Bronwen? At least it's not made up. And Rowenda ... perhaps an unsuccessful mashup of Wendy and Rowena.

Bronte has an ugly sound IMO. I like Rowena, can't decide how I feel about Rowenda. I wonder if it's a variation or something else.
