[name]Rosemary[/name] is very pretty and would sound nice with [name]Winter[/name]. Some other R possibilities are [name]Rhiannon[/name], [name]Rosalie[/name], [name]Ramona[/name], and [name]Regina[/name]…but I think I still like [name]Rosemary[/name] best!
[name]Alas[/name], [name]Rhiannon[/name] is out because of one in our close circle. [name]Ramona[/name] is out even though I have ALWAYS LOVED IT (waaah!) because it rhymes hideously with our (his!) last name, lol.
I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Winter[/name] [name]Rosamund[/name]! It’s stunning 
I don’t know if you’re looking for any suggestion but here are some others that come to mind:
[name]Winter[/name] [name]Rowena[/name]
[name]Winter[/name] [name]Rosanna[/name]
[name]Winter[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Winter[/name] [name]Ravenna[/name]
[name]Winter[/name] [name]Roxanne[/name]/[name]Roxana[/name]
[name]Winter[/name] [name]Romilly[/name]- love this!
[name]Winter[/name] [name]Romola[/name]
[name]Winter[/name] [name]Rosalind[/name]
[name]Winter[/name] [name]Rosaline[/name]
[name]Just[/name] a thought- seeing as you want to avoid [name]Rachel[/name] because there are so many in your family, how comfortable are you with using [name]Raquel[/name]? Is it to honour the Rachels or is it different enough that it doesn’t bother you?
[name]Hope[/name] this helps
I though [name]Raquel[/name]/[name]Rochelle[/name] right away. To me [name]Raven[/name] or [name]Rose[/name] combined with [name]Winter[/name] makes the name too ‘word-y’, although [name]Rosemarie[/name] and other variations would be fine I think
I know [name]Rachel[/name] and [name]Raquel[/name] are about this-close across languages, but my issue wasn’t hating [name]Rachel[/name], it was only distinguishing between cousins, you know? And one of my grandmothers had as her Hebrew name the Hebrew “[name]Rahel[/name]” which is also [name]Rachel[/name], but her English name was [name]Ruth[/name] because in the 1930s “[name]Rachel[/name]” thought to be “too ethnic.” So [name]Raquel[/name] is kind of a spin on that.
[name]Ruby[/name] is in the Top 5 here which casts a bit of a pall on that, no offense. I do like [name]Rowena[/name] a lot but my husband vetoed it for inexplicable reasons.
I like [name]Rosalind[/name], thanks. Also secretly like [name]Rosaleen[/name]. Not helping me narrow down though! 
Oh, I should say, I have [name]Rosamund[/name]/[name]Rosemary[/name]/[name]Rosemarie[/name] and am looking at [name]Rosalind[/name], but not, ahem, [name]Rose[/name] itself, because my sister’s middle name is [name]Rose[/name]. It’s very pretty and she’s not at all offended I’m looking at variants of [name]Rose[/name]. But I don’t want to use [name]Rose[/name] itself as that is considered slightly bad luck and in kinda bad taste in my family, to name after live people.
[name]Winter[/name] [name]Rosamund[/name] is a fantastic name!
[name]Winter[/name] [name]Rosamund[/name] is lovely.
Honestly, I usually sit on the anti side of too “wordy” names…but [name]Winter[/name] [name]Rose[/name] feels unexpected and sweet to me for some reason.
I voted [name]Winter[/name] [name]Rue[/name]. I like the simple, sweet [name]Rue[/name] with [name]Winter[/name] (I also think [name]Winter[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] is nice). I think something like [name]Rosemary[/name], [name]Rosalie[/name], or [name]Rosamund[/name] would be nice, but it sounds more like a type of rose/rosemary (a lovely winter rose…) instead of a full name (which is ironic, since I like [name]Winter[/name] [name]Ruby[/name]… ha!). I do quite like [name]Winter[/name] [name]Raquel[/name], too, or even the Polish [name]Winter[/name] [name]Rachela[/name] (rah-[name]SHELL[/name]-ah, I believe).
Good luck!
Although I prefer [name]Rosemary[/name] or [name]Rosamund[/name] as a first name, I think [name]Winter[/name] [name]Rosamund[/name] or [name]Winter[/name] [name]Rosemary[/name] are the best combos.
Well I definitely wouldn’t cry if my husband came around on them as first names. Let’s just say that.
[name]Winter[/name] [name]Rosemary[/name] gets my vote! I also like [name]Winter[/name] [name]Rosalie[/name] or just [name]Winter[/name] [name]Rose[/name]. Good luck!
I think [name]Winter[/name] Roisen is beautiful! I don’t think it’s getting as much love as it should, maybe because no one knows it’s ro-sheen? Anyways, I think it’s gorgeous!
Ahaha I guess narrowing down isn’t my strong point :P. My absolute favourite is [name]Winter[/name] [name]Rosamund[/name], though, without a shadow of a doubt. And I definitely understand about [name]Ruby[/name]- the popularity really puts me off too.
