I like it a lot for a girl. I used my family surname too! Awesome 
I actually like it for both. On a girl I do prefer it as a middle name and spelled [name_u]Wynne[/name_u]
I voted girl. My first thought was for a girl. Also, I saw a photo ad in the paper the other day for a little girl’s 1st birthday wishes. Her name was [name_u]Wynn[/name_u].
Technically, surnames can be used for both genders. However, with the [name_u]Wynn[/name_u] spelling I think it’s best for a boy. I had a stillborn cousin who was named [name_m]Gregory[/name_m] [name_u]Wynn[/name_u].
As of right now [name_u]Wynn[/name_u] is leaning girl only… anyone else?
[name_u]Wynn[/name_u] is DH’s middle name and his father’s middle as well. I didn’t continue the tradition with [name_m]Henry[/name_m] because the name didn’t have “special” family meaning, it was just the surname of one of PaPa’s favorite football players!
I considered using it for a middle when we found out #2 was a girl (I was thinking of spelling it [name_u]Wynne[/name_u]), but then it felt weird, since I skipped using it when the tradition of it would’ve made more sense. And we have family in [name_u]Wynne[/name_u], Arkansas and they absolutely loathe the place! ha!
At any rate, I think it’s a great name. Maybe it does lean feminine but I think it works for either gender. [name_m]Jimmy[/name_m] [name_u]Fallon[/name_u] has a new babe named [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] but I don’t see his influence contributing to huge gains in popularity.
I personally would go [name_u]Wynn[/name_u] for boys and [name_u]Wynne[/name_u] for girls. So I guess, boy then.
I voted for girl simply because I really love the name [name_f]Winona[/name_f] with the nn [name_u]Winn[/name_u]/[name_u]Wynn[/name_u] so I just see it as being a really girl name, haha!
I like it for either but generally as a nickname.
For boys it’d be [name_m]Edwin[/name_m], Ashwin, [name_m]Corwin[/name_m], Lewin, Colwyn. Or for more mainstream names like [name_m]Winston[/name_m], [name_m]Windell[/name_m] etc
For girls it’d be [name_f]Gwyneth[/name_f], [name_u]Winter[/name_u], [name_f]Ceridwen[/name_f], Eirwen, [name_f]Elowen[/name_f], [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f], Gwenllian, [name_f]Rowena[/name_f]
With Welsh names, the -wyn ending is masculine, and the -wen ending is feminine.
Therefore, when I see [name_u]Wynn[/name_u], I think of the above, so I think boy.
Does that make sense?!
[name_u]Win[/name_u]/[name_u]Wynn[/name_u] is one of the most genuinely unisex names I can think of, though I much prefer it as a nn for longer names like [name_m]Edwin[/name_m] or [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f].
