[Opinions] Re: Ethelwynn
in reply to a message by Hr M
Having mulled it over, I like it. It's nicer than plain Ethel. There were quite a few of them in the UK in the late 19th century, with various spellings: -win, -wyne, wynne, wynd etc. -wyn looks more balanced to me, and was most common.
Ethelwyn Mary, Ethelwyn Maud, Ethelwyn Mabel & Ethelwyn Grace were common combo choices. It seems to work best with short, simple names.
