Winora?

[Purpleguppy]

I'm almost 37 weeks and I think me and DH have gone through every girls name ever to exist and haven't settled on one.
We're both in love with the name Winnie but I posted before about the name Winnifred and didn't get a positive response so and i don't love it myself.
Anyway, i came across the name Winora and I love it but DH thinks it sounds made up - thoughts?
Absolutely love the nicknames Winnie and Nora.

Winona surely?

No, not keen on Winona.

Winora sounds like its a brand of dog food.

Winona is nice.

It'll look like you've spelled Winona wrong. Just use Winnie.

Sorry, but Winora is not good. Just name her Winnie or Nora! Both are lovely on their own.

Everyone will think her name is Winona upon seeing it.

The 'Win' element in Winifred is an anglicised form of the Welsh name element 'Gwen'. So what about long names containing that element, such Guinevere, Gwendolen etc etc (there are many) , with short version Gwennie, Gwinnie or Winnie ?

I LOVE Winona

Looks like a misspelling of Winona, sorry. If you want a longer name for Winnie, Winnifred is much nicer. Or Winter, at a push.

Nora is lovely, on its own or as a shortening for Eleonora, Leonora, Eleanor etc

Both Winnie and Nora are lovely on their own - not keen on Winora though sorry!

I like it 😊

Winnie as a name on its own. Doesnt have to be a longer name
shortened down. If you like it, then go for it.

I would also say Winona rather than Winora if you feel you
must have a longer name. Its your baby, and your decision
at the end of the day,

It's popular then!

Winora is dreadful.

It does sound made up.

I quite like it!

Totally made up. And I don't like Winifred much. PPs post re Gwen names is interesting though...

It sounds like a brand name for a cleaning product.

Winora's not so good. Just wondering if there aren't more girls' names with that -win or -wyn element @florascotia2 identifies at the end? Like Olwen/Olwyn/Morwyn/Arwen/Eowyn/Bronwen?

All very Welsh options though, assuming you are OK with that.

I quite like it! Love Nora & Winnie

Winora are a company who sell bicycles.

Sounds like ‘Wine or a g&t?’

"Use some Winora on that stain and it will come up lovely ... "

Winora sounds made up because it is made up, surely?

I really like Winifred, personally.

Winona, lovely. Winora, ugly.
