Both sound like you're naming after someone famous which is a bit naff. Winnie is fine.

Jellycat00 · 21/08/2019 06:12

I'm not a huge fan of either, but if i had to pick then Sabrina.

What about the French version - Sabine?

Or
Winter (nn Winnie)
Winifred (cute!!)
Wina or Winah
Selena
Serena
Delphine
Sabina (so without the 'r' and therefore removes the association with teenage witches!)

Serena is lovely

ThirdAidKit · 20/08/2019 22:52

I know a mid 20s Sabrina. Never even connected it with a teenage witch and I’m very much of the age for that!

She owns it. Nickname Sabs.

Sabrina

TatianaLarina · 20/08/2019 21:15

Sabrina.

Sexy90 · 20/08/2019 17:51

Winona

pikapikachu · 20/08/2019 17:50

Sabrina is better than Winona. I wouldn't want to name my child after a famous shoplifter.

GrannyHaddock · 20/08/2019 14:30

Isn't anyone going to invoke the 1950s Sabrina, the famous starlet with the extraordinary figure? By the way, it's a no and no from me, too.

userabcname · 20/08/2019 14:29

I really like Sabrina!

FlauntsHerAmpleAssets · 20/08/2019 14:28

Showing my age here, but Sabrina to me brings to mind one of the original Charlie's Angels, not the teenage witch!
(She was the sassy, clever one).

Have never met a Sabrina IRL.

Disfordarkchocolate · 20/08/2019 14:17

Sabrina, gorgeous name. I nickname will just evolve.

MrsBertBibby · 20/08/2019 14:16

Neither. Ugly ugly names.

user1493494961 · 20/08/2019 14:06

Both dreadful. Have you got a third option?

IsobelRae23 · 20/08/2019 14:03

Neither they are both horrible. Best of a bad pair- Sabrina (but it’s horrible!)

Thanks all, I prefer the dates ones x

Both dated and too closely allied to a particular person/ character

AllieDidNotDeserveBea · 20/08/2019 09:25

Winona by ten miles

LarkDescending · 20/08/2019 09:18

Sabrina but I prefer Sabina or Saskia.

Frith2013 · 20/08/2019 09:15

Not Winnie as in The Pooh,

Frith2013 · 20/08/2019 09:14

Sabrina.

EchidnasPhone · 20/08/2019 08:24

Neither. But if you HAD to have either I guess Sabrina. Just feels very dated.

tabbiemoo · 20/08/2019 08:14

Definitely Sabrina
Winona is awful and Winnie not much better. Willow is similar but a lot nicer?

Peachbubble · 20/08/2019 07:50

Sabrina
