Help[Opinions] Winifreda
I've been going back and forth on if I like the classically clunky Winifred or the slightly more eccentric Winifreda lately. I think I like Winifreda, it makes me think of flapping doves wings about to take flight. But what's your take? Too eccentric or nay?

I feel like it's just Latinized, like Rosalinda vs Rosalind; it's only odd because usually the reverse happens. I think Winifreda is more boisterous and flowy, but I feel like that's just my subconscious stereotyping of NW Europe vs SE Europe. I imagine Winifreda as Romanian maybe, or like there's the Polish Wenefryda, whereas Winifred is more tidily English.
I've been liking Winifred lately, and I'm fond of the abruptness of D endings in general (I prefer Matild to Matilda, as well), but they're both cool.

Winifreda is just too much for me, sorry. I do like Winifred, though. (And to think I used to prefer the Winnifred spelling, nowadays I find that too clunky.)

I can't believe I'm saying this but Winifred is way better.
