We are currently really drawn to alliterative names for dd3 with the surname Winter. (Other dc don’t have alliterative names)

options are:
Winona Winter
Willow Winter
Winnifred Winter
Wilhelmina Winter

If we go with Winona or Winifred it’s likely she will end up being Winnie Winter which I do still think is cute but others could think is too silly?

alternatives we like:
Violet Winter
Sylvia Winter
Magnolia Winter
Vivienne Winter

thoughts or suggestions?

Winona Winter is legendary, I love it so much!

Willow is my favourite of your “W” names. The middle name is less important- Willow Winter is fine.

I love Vivienne Winter 😊 Violet Winter is nice but does sound a bit like violent winter.

Ivy Winter
Verity Winter
Evelyn Winter
Lola Winter
Rosemary Winter
Mabel Winter
Florence Winter

I think Winona is a really lovely name and doesn't have to be 'Winnie' - but I think Winnie Winter is a bloody cool name anyway!

Winifred is the usual spelling.

You’re right and we would use that spelling. I misspelled it thinking of the nn Winnie which is what we would use if we chose that name.
