Winthrop is an awesome Surname and I agree would make a good mn. I am just curious about what nn. would come out of it. I dont like Winnie on a boy or Win. Winter might be a good nn. Throp sounds like throb. A good name but usable would be tricky

Pretentious imho. Would be okay if everyone could call him Win or Wint.

Winthrop Rockefeller is the first thing that comes to mind. Not a bad association (unless you're a Southern Democrat lol) but an association all the same (he was pretty bad-ass for the state). I like Winthrop Xavier (pronounced with the X in this case).

Tidbit of info: Winthrop had four brothers named Nelson, David, Laurance, and John. Winthrop and Laurence make an awesome sibset, imo ;o)

Huh, I've overlooked Winthrop. It does have a pleasantly jovial quality. Xavier Winthrop is nice, but I might pair it with something equally fun-loving. Like Barnaby Winthrop, Winthrop Quincey, or Winthrop Augustus. Oh yes, Winthrop Augustus is wonderful!

I adore Winthrop ! ...and would totally use it.

I'm not sure what I would pair with it. Maybe something super English.

so wonderfully cocky. I love the thrup part. It's like a surprise throat punch.

I personally think Winthrop Xavier has better flow, but then I do say Xavier like "eks-AYV-yur" no "ZAYV-yur".
