Help[Opinions] Re: need help with pronunciation! xxx
in reply to a message by namesfan
I don't know the pronunciation. If you know what Native American language it's from, be sure to add that info to your Facts Board post.
I would not want to be called Winema if it is pronounced WIN-eh-ma because it rhymes too much with enema. Wih-NEE-ma is nice.
BTN says the meaning of Winona is firstborn daughter, not "giving," by the way.
I've always liked Winona a lot, and I would've considered using it if not for the NO sound in it (I guess I'm neurotically anti-names-with-no-in-them even though I like some). I don't know if I like Winema any better. It could grow on me. I'm not instantly attracted to it, though. I just think it is nice.
