I adore [name]Willa[/name], [name]Winter[/name], and [name]Wren[/name]. I love [name]Waverly[/name], and I like [name]Willow[/name]. The rest I likely wouldn’t consider, but I do have a huge GP crush on [name]Winslet[/name] and [name]Wisteria[/name]! I also love [name]Wellesley[/name], but only for a boy!

That’s really all I’ve got, though, haha… it just doesn’t seem to be a well-loved letter!

ETA: I used to have a thing for the Polish [name]Walentyna[/name], and I still have a huge thing for Polish names, but I don’t think [name]Walentyna[/name] is anywhere near as usable as [name]Valentina[/name] is, and [name]Valentina[/name] seems sweeter and more streamlined…

Myself, I would use, or at least consider:

[name]Waverly[/name]
[name]Whitley[/name]
[name]Willow[/name]
[name]Windsor[/name]
[name]Winter[/name]
[name]Wisteria[/name]
[name]Wren[/name]
[name]Wynn[/name]

Any ideas why W, and well let’s be honest, most of the end of the Alphabet letters get such little name exposure?

4

I like [name]Whitney[/name] a lot as a middle name. [name]Willa[/name] is nice too.
The rest are nms.

I don’t know! I think each letter has its day in the sun and right now “L” names are very in–[name]Lily[/name], [name]Landon[/name], [name]Levi[/name], [name]Leo[/name] (and its variants), [name]Liam[/name], [name]Lexi[/name], [name]Laura[/name]/[name]Laurel[/name], [name]Lorelei[/name], [name]Lola[/name], [name]Lila[/name], etc.–but “J” names and “P” names have had their day in the past several decades, too. Still, maybe it’s because they’re so far down? They just don’t seem to be popular anywhere. When my family used to go on vacations we would look for the alphabet in signs, and some letters just aren’t common anywhere–Q, J (well, name-wise, J is a pretty popular letter… elsewhere, not so much!), X, Y, Z, W, U, etc.

I absolutely love Z names, though! They’re so zippy and spunky and fun. [name]Zara[/name], [name]Zinnia[/name], [name]Zenobia[/name], [name]Zoe[/name], [name]Zofia[/name], [name]Zuzanna[/name], etc… they’re all so cool. I don’t know why most of them haven’t caught on yet.

[name]Winter[/name] is my favorite girl name right now. And W being so underused as a first initial is a bonus.

I also like [name]Wren[/name], [name]Willow[/name], and [name]Wendy[/name].

7

My list of W names has a lot of the same names as yours.

[name]Willa[/name]
[name]Willamina[/name] (spelled like this, only)
[name]Wynn[/name]
[name]Waverly[/name]
[name]Wilma[/name]
[name]Winnie[/name]
[name]Wallis[/name]
Welsie
[name]Winter[/name] (terribly trendy)

… boys have the better lot I’m afraid

The only “W” name not on your list is Wendra. Have a friend win this name and when her daughter was born, she gave her daughter a “W” name as well that is already on your list.

9

I adore [name]Waverly[/name] and [name]Wendy[/name]. Ya, you could say i’m not big on unusual names. =D

10

I predict that W names are going to take off as L names fade out…they’re more unusual, both old-fashioned and more modern nature and word names. (My favorites from your list are [name]Willa[/name] and [name]Winifred[/name], but what I really love are boys’ W names.)

11

I like [name]Wren[/name], [name]Waverly[/name], [name]Wynn[/name] and [name]Windy[/name].
[name]Whitney[/name] is… [name]Houston[/name].

18

My favorite right now is definitely [name]Winter[/name], possibly nn [name]Winnie[/name]. I may even add to my favorites list :wink:

[name]How[/name] about [name]Warner[/name] for a girl? I just heard this on a girl the other day, and I thought it was strong, smooth, and cool!
