Help[Opinions] Re: Winifred
in reply to a message by Martha
It's likable...striking, even...stuffy, if I'm feeling unkind, but in a way that I could also say is statuesque. It does seems dated-Edwardian to me in that I think of like Art Noveau and whispy updos and peonies. It's not lightweight or dull.
I don't think it's worse sounding than Jennifer, and the meaning is nicer. For a modern child, it seems about the style of Walter, Francis, Althea, Harriet, Rosamund?
I can't say I like Winnie. It could be cute in a quaint way like Dottie, but that's not exactly my thing, and it's too much like whinny for me.
It's fine without a NN, although I don't mind Wynn or Wendy. Or Freda or even Freyde could work, maybe.
