I love the nickname [name]Win[/name], and am wondering what you berries think is the best way to get there.
People I talk to like [name]Winston[/name] - although for some reason it feels a little wimpy to me (yes, despite the churchill connection! i can’t explain it but it feels pointdexterish to me).
I like [name]Winslow[/name], I feel like it is kind of on trend with the “o” ending. It’s familiar yet, uncommon - usually a winning combination for me. Yet, people I talk to don’t seem to like it, and the write up on nameberry is equally discouraging. Any ideas why? The only thing i don’t like about the name is having “slow” in there - but preceded by “win” it can’t be that bad.
What are other ways of getting to [name]Win[/name]? All I can think of is [name]Wynn[/name], and that just doesn’t do it for me.
I do prefer [name]Winston[/name]… I always think of a big, burly guy that fights for justice and is a bit withdrawn into himself but can still kick butt. Then again, I can only think of [name]Winston[/name] from Human Target.
I do like [name]Winslow[/name] quite a bit, though–I came across it as a surname in this series I read as a teenager, it was called The House of [name]Winslow[/name] and it was pretty much amazing, lol. So I have good associations with it. And I say it WINZ-low, so I don’t think the “slow” part would be emphasized, really…
I get different images than ashthedreamer for each name. [name]Winston[/name] [name]Churchill[/name] lead [name]Britain[/name] through the dark days of World War II so I get a strong, British gentleman vibe from the name (eg. Keep [name]Calm[/name] and [name]Carry[/name] On!). [name]Winslow[/name] is all about American artist [name]Winslow[/name] [name]Homer[/name] who painted some lovely landscapes. I like both names but prefer [name]Winston[/name] (the “slow” in [name]Winslow[/name] kind of bothers me a bit so that’s why I relegate it to second spot).
I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Winslow[/name]. I don’t notice the “slow” since I too say WINZ-lo. And I love [name]Winslow[/name] [name]Homer[/name] and his work, so the name has this natural, nostalgic, [name]Americana[/name] feel for me. [name]Winston[/name] puts me more in mind of the 1984 character than [name]Churchill[/name], which is probably why I don’t care for it.
If you like “win,” you could consider names that put it at the end: [name]Edwin[/name], [name]Bowin[/name], [name]Corwin[/name], [name]Aldwin[/name], [name]Gawin[/name], [name]Selwin[/name]. I think [name]Winford[/name] is all right, too.
Ooh, I like this idea! [name]Baldwin[/name] has been a favorite of mine for a while, although I’m not sure how usable it is… I quite like [name]Corwin[/name] and [name]Bowin[/name], as well.
I actually like [name]Winslow[/name] a lot more than [name]Winston[/name].
