Hi - i would love lots of honest opinions no matter how harsh .
i would like to know what you think of them as well as the sort of reputation it might have (downmarket etc), and whether there are loads of kids around with the same name that i am missing as i am one of those saddos that wishes to avoid the next Ruby or Olivia.
Thanks all

Winnie is awful, unless you want her to get called Pooh?
I have looked closely at your list. First reaction was I don't like any of them. However, these are ok:

Dorothy
Polly
Enid
Sally

I only like polly, if you like the nickname Winnie, how about the name Bronwyn? I love it and it is often shortened to Winnie.
