Comments and insights on the name Winifred

I love this name - it's almost regal. But has great options for nicknames. On my baby list.

This name is absolutely adorable! It has an old-fashioned feel but, a quirky, modern, hipness to it. I love the nicknames Win, Winnie, which are so spunky! I too would consider this in the future.

Freddie could also be a nickname.
