I Love Winnie, The only thing that would concern me is potential teasing, eg Winnie the Witch or Winnie the Pooh, but then I've never known any Thomas' to endure teasing in reference to Thomas the tank engine, to give an example, so I think Winnie would be fine. Just me and my deep thinking.
Gretel makes me think of Hansel and Gretel. That story used to terrify me as a little one.
Hettie just like the sound of it.
Edie. Pretty, but not to my taste

Oh and I don't Jemima.
There's also another Jemima thread.
Is this going to be the next bloody

Jemima is very pretty, and I do actually like Gretel, even though I can see why it's marmite. I knew a Gretel when growing up, and it's one of those names that seems way more normal "in person" than written down.

I don't understand why a PP is getting butthurt about Jemima though...it's a perfectly normal name....

If by pp you mean me. I 'm not getting butthurt. I just don't like the name. Op did after all ask for opinions, and that's all they are opinions.
