I really, REALLY love Winnie, but can’t use it as my partner’s eldest daughter is Winnifred and goes by Winnie. I don’t feel I can just call her Rowena as that’s my mom’s name and conversations might get a little confusing. Ro has been suggested but I’m not into it.
So I’ve narrowed it down to 2 nicknames I like but I’m not sure.
Any cute, quirky, and feminine suggestions I may not have thought of are also welcome in the comments.

You could use [name_u]Rowen[/name_u] as a nn, or even Ena/Ina (pronounced ee-na). I think [name_f]Wendy[/name_f] could also be a possibility, if you’re into that. [name_f]Wendy[/name_f] just brought [name_u]Nana[/name_u] to mind, which is fairly cute.
I like [name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Wendy[/name_f], as mentioned, is also cute!
[name_m]Ron[/name_m] or [name_u]Ronnie[/name_u] are also adorable 
I voted for [name_u]Wren[/name_u], but I heard of a [name_u]Rowen[/name_u] who goes by [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] (starting with the nickname [name_f]Ro[/name_f], and adding sie, so it kind of makes sense). Both of your options are really great, I just thought I’d bring this up.
How do you pronounce [name_f]Rowena[/name_f]?
I could see [name_u]Rae[/name_u] too. [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] is a cute suggestion as well.
We pronounce it like ro-ee-na. I really like the Ro-wen-uh pronunciation but I’m naming her after my mom who pronounces it the other way so that’s what we’re doing as well.
Wait are you the same person as the original poster
I think I like [name_f]Ria[/name_f]!
I like the nickname [name_f]Row[/name_f] or [name_f]Roe[/name_f]
I love Romee… maybe it could work, or just Rowe
Let me begin by saying that I met someone about 30 years ago with this name and have absolutely LOVED it ever since.
I like the nickname [name_f]Rose[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]. To make the nickname fit better I would suggest using a middle name beginning with the letter S. [name_f]Rowena[/name_f] clearly has the first syllable RO and with a middle name beginning with S it make the nickname [name_f]Rose[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] more understandable.
For instance……
[name_f]Rowena[/name_f] [name_f]Sabine[/name_f] [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], [name_f]Rosy[/name_f]
R0wena [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
I suppose you could do the same type of thing to make nicknames like [name_u]Romy[/name_u] or Rory….
R0wena [name_u]Marie[/name_u]. [name_u]Romy[/name_u]
R0wena [name_f]Rachel[/name_f]. [name_u]Rory[/name_u]
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] you find this helpful. Good luck with your decision.
