Wynnstan is terrible but I don't mind Winston for a little boy.

They look very dated and stuffy. WynnStan seems like a surname to me.

Winston seems staid and stuffy. Changing the spelling to Wynnstan makes it sound feminine in my opinion.

Well, Winston is a one-owner name if ever I've seen one - as a fn, of course. Even John Lennon had it as a mn! And Winstanley is a surname, so it could well crop up as a lnfn. But Wynnstan is just awful. The over-decorated femininity of Wynn, stapled on to the austere maleness of Stan simply doesn't work. Or, I hope it doesn't.

Winston tastes good like a cigarette should.
It's a name best kept for dogs and cats. Wynstan is awful, needlessly complicated spelling.

Wynnstan looks like the name of a HVAC system.

Winston is ok. I’ve never liked it much but it’s a perfectly fine name. I prefer both Winton and Winslow

Nope! Sounds like you're saying you stan (you're a fan of) some celeb named Wynn... lol

I can see Wynnstan as a middle name, due to the preservation of meaning, but it makes me want to say WIN-STAN. Like two separate words, because of how divided it is visually.

Winston is nice. It feels solid and serious, but not stiff. I don't love it though.

Wynnstan you could find more in a fantasy setting.

Wynnstan is for sure a no. Wynn is nice.

Winston has a special place in my heart because of Dallas Winston from The Outsiders.
