Wynne vs. Winter?

Oh, the perennial trials of loving similar-sounding names. I’ve had both on my long list for a while and am trying to decide which I prefer. (not crucial, since I’m not expecting or TTC).

Winter pros: I love the imagery associated with the word name, the slightly longer sound, etc.
Wynne pros: weirdly, the exact opposite. I like how short it is, the flexibility of not being a word name with an existing set of imagery. (It also does sound a lot better with my last name, frankly).

With both names, I like how the name feels both fresh/fun/approachable and graceful, adult, almost mythical in tone.

Do you guys have a preference? Should I just keep both on my list?

I really like Wynne! That’s so very pretty!!

I like [name_u]Wynne[/name_u] best! [name_u]Winter[/name_u] is pretty but too literal for me. I live in a cold area of [name_f]Canada[/name_f] where the winters are, well, pretty awful lol.

[name_u]Winter[/name_u] would make a nice middle name though.

Ooh what a tricky one. They both give me slightly different vibes.

[name_u]Winter[/name_u] is fresh, sharp and bright - but still cheerful and sweet.

[name_u]Wynne[/name_u] is slightly more rugged and cosy, fun and free.

I think I prefer [name_u]Winter[/name_u] myself but both are lovely!!

Ooh, I like [name_u]Wynne[/name_u]. It feels very sleek & feminine but not frilly. It’s simple & unique too. Spelling may be a tad tricky, but not horribly complicated. I feel like [name_u]Winter[/name_u] is getting a little bit popular, really. And I think that the ‘ter’ part just sounds harsh. Plus, I hate snow, so I may be biased! :joy:

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] my rambling helps. :slight_smile:
