Winnie is cute but I don’t like either Winona or Sabrina- sorry! Feel dated but not in a cutesy nice way. Personal preference though and that’s just my opinion!

Clementara21 · 20/08/2019 00:04

Ryder or the Teenage Witch?
Don't like either, sorry.
But if I HAD to pick one it would be Sabrina as it's not so closely associated with the one person.

Snoopy90 · 20/08/2019 00:37

Definitely Sabrina. It sounds strong and I like that it's unusual. No obvious nn jumps out to me though. Maybe Bree?

Not keen on Winona. How about Iona, sounds much nicer to me.

Sabrina, Winona feels a bit too American.

Sab, Sabbie, Bree, Brina for short?

Spacerader · 20/08/2019 00:43

I don’t like either. Sabrina just reminds me of Sabrina the teenage witch, even more so now there has been a Netflix revival.

DramaAlpaca · 20/08/2019 00:45

Sabrina by about a million miles. I absolutely cannot stand Winnie, it's hideous.

AdelaideK · 20/08/2019 00:45

Sabrina but I prefer Serena.

I don't like Winona or Winnie at all.

Astronica · 20/08/2019 00:59

I prefer Winona but not keen at all on Winnie, so I would choose Sabrina.

Peachbubble · 20/08/2019 07:50

Sabrina

tabbiemoo · 20/08/2019 08:14

Definitely Sabrina
Winona is awful and Winnie not much better. Willow is similar but a lot nicer?

EchidnasPhone · 20/08/2019 08:24

Neither. But if you HAD to have either I guess Sabrina. Just feels very dated.

Frith2013 · 20/08/2019 09:14

Sabrina.

Frith2013 · 20/08/2019 09:15

Not Winnie as in The Pooh,

LarkDescending · 20/08/2019 09:18

Sabrina but I prefer Sabina or Saskia.

AllieDidNotDeserveBea · 20/08/2019 09:25

Winona by ten miles

saraclara · 20/08/2019 09:27

Both dated and too closely allied to a particular person/ character

Neither they are both horrible. Best of a bad pair- Sabrina (but it’s horrible!)

user1493494961 · 20/08/2019 14:06

Both dreadful. Have you got a third option?

MrsBertBibby · 20/08/2019 14:16

Neither. Ugly ugly names.

Disfordarkchocolate · 20/08/2019 14:17

Sabrina, gorgeous name. I nickname will just evolve.

FlauntsHerAmpleAssets · 20/08/2019 14:28

Showing my age here, but Sabrina to me brings to mind one of the original Charlie's Angels, not the teenage witch!
(She was the sassy, clever one).

Have never met a Sabrina IRL.

userabcname · 20/08/2019 14:29

I really like Sabrina!

GrannyHaddock · 20/08/2019 14:30

Isn't anyone going to invoke the 1950s Sabrina, the famous starlet with the extraordinary figure? By the way, it's a no and no from me, too.
