[Opinions] Re: Winona
in reply to a message by IndigoSorceress
I love it, have had it on my list for a long time now. It seems naturey to me, I guess because it sounds like "wind."
But, it also has NO in it. The stressed syllable. And another N right after it. That doesn't work for me. I don't like too many N's (I have extras, N in all of them, first middle and last). And the clincher is just that I personally would not want to be addressed with a name that had a big NO in it. It's probably just a stupid quirk of mine, since I don't really notice it when I address Noahs and Noras and Winonas - but when I think about naming a child or renaming myself, it's a no go.
