My boyfriend really wants to name our 2nd daughter [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]. I would like a more formal name and call her [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] as a nickname. So far, I like [name_f]Winona[/name_f] and [name_f]Elowen[/name_f]. [name_m]Her[/name_m] sister’s name is [name_f]Vayda[/name_f], do one of them sound better with her sister? [name_f]Any[/name_f] other suggestions?

I think [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] suits [name_f]Vayda[/name_f] best - they both have a fantasy vibe. They sound epic together!
Maybe otherwise [name_f]Winter[/name_f] or Wynnora? Or [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]? They also have that heroic, outdoorsy & adventurous feel.
I like [name_f]Winona[/name_f] but it sounds a little jumpy / off beat rhymey with [name_f]Vayda[/name_f]. Obv you should choose for individual name over sibset so if you prefer [name_f]Winona[/name_f] they best, I’d pick it. Its advantage over [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] is you’re very likely to get [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] as a default, it’s not in competition like with say, [name_f]Ellie[/name_f].

I would go with [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] of the 2.
[name_f]Wednesday[/name_f] would be cool. [name_f]Bronwen[/name_f] is nice too.
[name_f]Winnie[/name_f] is such a sweet nickname! I like [name_f]Winona[/name_f] and [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] with [name_f]Vayda[/name_f], but I like [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] the most

Congrats!
I think [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] is so sweet. I like the idea of [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] with older sister V@yd@ I just feel they have the right feel both fantasy ethereal choices.
[name_f]Winona[/name_f] is fun but doesn’t feel as cohesive.
You’ve had lots of lovely ideas so count any repeats as me being in agreement with the berries
[name_f]Winslet[/name_f], [name_m]Winslow[/name_m], [name_f]Arwen[/name_f], [name_f]Winter[/name_f], [name_f]Bronwen[/name_f], [name_f]Winsome[/name_f], [name_f]Liliwen[/name_f], [name_f]Winika[/name_f], [name_f]Olwen[/name_f], [name_f]Ceridwen[/name_f] + [name_f]Wednesday[/name_f]
I really like [name_f]Winona[/name_f] for you – though [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] is lovely too.

[name_f]Winnie[/name_f] is super sweet! [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] is my favorite with your daughter, though both are lovely! [name_f]Winter[/name_f] is my favorite formal name for [name_f]Winnie[/name_f], but I’m also very fond of [name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] or [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] with the nn [name_f]Winnie[/name_f]!
Good luck!
[name_f]Elowen[/name_f] as a sister for V.ayda is gorgeous!
[name_f]Vayda[/name_f] and [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] are spectacular together!
Winsleigh, Winslett and [name_m]Winslowe[/name_m]? Winslow….idk how to spell
