down to two...

[nyldn]

we're down to two names, baby due imminently!

Toren and Winston.

love them both, but cannot decide for the life of me. both go equally well with our surname. Winston would probably be nn Win, and Toren may be nn Ren.

made the mistake of telling my mother and she's now pushing Winston because she's never heard of Toren and it's throwing me off.

Sorry for spelling error. 'Pronounded' should be 'pronounced', of course.

Torin is very nice,but Winston is dreadful.

I like Toren more!

Ginger Anyone can spell any name any way they like, and good luck to them. But it would not be accurate to say that "Toren is gaelic" - any more than it would be to say that Jain is the same as Jane.

Torin is lovely. Winston, not so much. Though it was good enough for Mr Elba when naming his new baby!

Toren. Winston sounds very stuffy, not sure it's due for a revival yet.

I'm not a big fan of either, sorry. I like Soren, that might appeal as similar to Toren? I find Winston overwhelmingly associated with Churchill and would prefer not to give my kids a name that was associated primarily with one person. Torin is ok but Toren just sounds made-up.

I've never heard of toren before.

Seeing it I'd pronounce it rhyming with foreign.

Winston is too Churchill- could result in car insurance type teasing.

Winston is cool and due a revival! People only associate it with Churchill because he's the only Winston they know of. Once they meet a cute little Winston they'll associate it with him!

Winston for me. Toren means 'tower' in Dutch, so I would forever associate it with that.

Where I come from in NI any Winston would be instantantly given the nn winky! Don't ask me why!? It just "is"!!! So not Winston for me!! Team torin!

Toren (or Torin).

Winston because I don't know the other name.

florascotia, mommy asked about names Toren and Winston, so i answered) I did not take any part in conversation about right spelling;-) I just answered to nyldn;-)

Ive not heard of Toren before but I prefer it to Winston sorry

I would have pronounced Toren like Soren, with an O sound. (I know a Soren, and people do sometimes think it's girls name )

I love Winston.

I really like both
