First of all, yes I'm due in Winter is it a bit mad? Summer and Autumn seem to be widely used! I think Winnie would be a sweet nn!

Winnie is ridiculous as a nickname for winter. Winter as a name is just the right side of weird and I like it, but it's so different in character and tone to Winnie that they are totally unrelated names.
I just finished a novel by MM Kaye with a character called Winter de Ballesteros. Loved it.

Winnie isn't an attractive name in any way.

I love Winter but I don't love Winnie.

I like it- less keen on Winnie, but it could grow on me

Don't like Winnie btw as I'd think it was short for Winifred.

I liked Winter for a boy but I've heard it's definitely a girls name nowadays. V pretty and rare.

Both fine but this whole deciding nn thing is weird. She'll probably change it as a teenager!

I found several ancestors called Winter.

All men.

I never heard of people assigning nicknames before I came on MN, surely they should just happen?

I like Winter but would never be brave enough to use it. Don't like Winnie though, sorry.

I really really like Winter. Have done ever since Nicole Ritchie called her wee one Harlow Winter Kate.

Not so keen on Winnie though but that may be because I had a thoroughly horrible Great Aunt called Winnie!

Absolutely love Winnie- not a fan of winter (the name or season) :( sorry hope that's not mean!
