I like [name_u]Wynn[/name_u] as a nn for [name_u]Whitney[/name_u]. I wouldn’t worry about the spelling difference. It’s a nn, go with the flow!
I too have social anxiety and it flares when I say my name, so I understand where you’re coming from. I love [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] for you! It’s close enough to [name_u]Whitney[/name_u] and it’s sweet and soft. I would not worry about the spelling if you do decide to shorten it to [name_u]Wynn[/name_u]. [name_f]Willa[/name_f] is my second favorite option, followed by [name_f]Nia[/name_f]. I love that [name_f]Willa[/name_f] honors your father, but if it isn’t the one, it isn’t the one. Go with your gut.
[name_f]Winnie[/name_f] is great! Keep trying it out to see if it feels right for you
Thank you so much for your reply! And to everyone else who has replied or voted. It helps to know that you understand my anxiety too and know how much this can affect someone.
Hearing other people’s thoughts on [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] and [name_u]Wynn[/name_u] really helps because I’m so worried about sounding “stupid” in front of other people.
