[Opinions] Edwina
What do you think of Edwina?
I like it. It's my kind of name.

I like it. It reminds me of a lady scientist in the late 19th century.
it's uncommonly ugly. I don't like Edwin to start with, it's wimpy and somehow shifty and sly at the same time. The ween sound in Edwina just makes it that much worse.
Not a fan. Can't get past the 'weener' sound - completely unattractive.
I obviously love it since I named my daughter it! We often call her Weenie or occasionally Eddie. We use Ed-wee-nuh as the pronunciation and I hate when the d and the w get mushed together like a dwee sound.
I don't like it
Not bad. I’d rate it a 6/10.
I really dislike the DWEEN sound.
Yeah, I pretty much like it - pronounced like Edwin + a.
So I'd also like it spelled Edwinna. Even Edwynna.
It's sorta innocent and antique like Edna, but it's more grown-up and has more personality. And without that adenoidal click, d running into an n.
Not a favorite for me but it'd be cool to see used for real.
I don't like it pronounced as ed-wiener but that's still not a bad name.
'My kind of name' that I keep in a similar mental category, would be Eudora.

I adore Edwina! I strongly prefer the “WIN” pronunciation to the “WEEN,” for what it’s worth.
It's pretty dope. One of my guilty pleasures, love to say it, but I would never use it on my child.
I Like it, too!
