Girls:
Winter is my favorite. I actually have it on the long list of would-be daughter name ideas. I would call her
Winter Ophelia, strikingly cold but beautiful, like a snow princess. I also really like
Winifred /
Winnie as a second runner-up. Though I mostly like it best in the context of a G/G twin idea for
Beatrice. I think
Winifred and
Beatrice are perfect bookend type names that match styles and vibe perfectly without being too matchy in sound. If we dip into the more abstract I also like
Wisteria,
Winifreda,
Winona (love it as a MN),
Wren,
Wynn /
Wynne (MN Only), Wrenna, Windy and Winika in a GP-type way.
I don't truly love and male W names but I do like a few.
Wade,
Warren,
Wayne,
Waldo,
Winston,
Wolf. But again, mostly as middle-fodder than first name material for me. A fun bridge but not the desired destination.
Edit: I forgot I am still slightly partial to
Wesley /
Westley because of The
Princess Bride, but it still isn't my favorite anymore since meeting several that were of questionable character.
Please rate my "Names I would Use" list & "Backup Favorites" list. Feel free to rate some of my other lists too if you have the time.
