Starting or Ending with WYN or WIN

[Winter]

Help! I thought I had the name thing sussed, but I just can't do it to her...

DH & I love Winter as a name, but with the popularity of Summer at the moment, I'm sure there will be a Summer in her class, and I can imagine the teasing...what if they became best friends? Summer & Winter BFF

So...this is what I need...I

have been talking to her for the last 4 months and calling her Win so now I need some names that I can shorten to Win or Wyn but if she wants to grow up to be a high court judge, a doctor, a hairdresser, a police officer or a beach-bum - she has a name that suits all occasions!

This is your mission should you choose to accept it!

Winona
Winifried
Winnie :P

ummmmm... I'll be back if I can think of anymore

[AliBaby]

The only other name similar that has come to mind is Whitney. Theat could be shortened to Winny I suppose.

[Nelle]

To be honest, if you love Winter, then call bub Winter. Honestly. There are Autumns too. And Junes and Mays and Rivers and Willows and Forrests who are very happy people...

And then Johns, Daniels and Matthews who are teased at school.

I think Winter's a beautiful name, so I'd be reluctant to steer clear of that just in case she is teased, when she could get teased if she's an Isabella or Summer or Jane anyway. To be honest, I'd think it was cool if I was winter and my bestie was Summer. My bestie is my name spelled backwards and we think that's pretty darned cool.

Anyway. Off the top of my head:
Winona
Bronwyn
Guinivere
Winsome
Windy
Arwyn

I have a cousin named Raewyn

I think Winona sounds gorgeous!

But I agree with Nelle, if you love Winter then use it then she can use Win or Winnie.

Winslow
Winta (African for desire)

Just Wyn would work, IMO.
But I agree, go for Winter if it is what you really like!

[Winter]

I have a cousin named Raewyn

I would get sooooo many brownie points for that one! My mother's name is Rae.

[feeb]

i agree with others if you like winter go for it!

Alwyn
Raewyn
maywin

[smiles4u]

Raewyn is an actual name (not made up, in case you might have been wondering )

Rae was after my cousins Uncle Ray ... and Wyn was after her Greatgrandmother

I too like everyone else say YOU both should stick with WINTER ... if that's the name you like & love in your hearts

My mums name is Bethwyn.

Um Gwyneth?

In the wonder years they managed to shorted Gwendolen to Win/Winnie

[Junglemum]

Gprgeous little gilr in my MG called Elwyn

I really like Winter. Just like Nelle said, there is potential to be teased no matter what your name is. My name is Rebecca and at primary school there were 5 Rebecca's in the same class P-6 and we ALWAYS go teased. I say stick with Winter.

[Feathertop]

Stick with Winter if you really like it I think.

I knew a girl once whose daughter was Arowen (you could spell it Arowyn) - I believe it's Welsh.

I say stick with Winter if you love it! Better a name you love than one you like just so she *might* not get teased for her name.
