Hmmm...probably endless teasing would occur. Wenceslas strikes me in the same manner as Percival for some reason. Godwin seems cool, but the God part would make me not use it.

I like both. They are diffrent and lend to the imagination.

I think Wenceslas would be usable if you found a nickname for it. It would be a little tough to handle without one, I think, because the sounds are so unusual in English.

Godwin is really nifty. It seems like it would suit someone who wore really soft grey sweaters and wore really hip thick-framed square black glasses and spent 12 hours a day in the library reading James Joyce novels.

Wenceslas and Godwin (prefer Godric and Godfrey) are GPs for me too. I say GP when I really mean "cool, but unusable." :-( When the obvious nn is God, you know you're waaaay out in left field.

Godwin makes me think of "Godwin's Law."

I don't think either of them as useable as first names, but I think you could get away with Godwin as a middle name. I have to say, I love Wenceslas, but in a "this is ridiculous" kind of way.
