Love it

Yes, I agree! When I think of this name, I feel a distinct southern vibe which I really like. I also love how uncommon it is.
EW314 Says:
Unusual and so pretty, though I'm not a fan of Winnie personally. I love the idea of Nona as a nickname though!
Theodora_Phoenix Says:
Gourgeous! But If I had to pick a nickname, I prefer Nona to Winnie.
lynn_wentworth Says:
I absolutely adore this name. Definitely on my list. It sounds so classic and elegant, but has the fun-childhood nickname Winnie!

I love this name, it's really distinct and has a kind of southern charm to it, although idk if anyone feels that. Winnie really does make anything better, and so that's a plus. Thinking about Winona Mae...

I love this name and would definitely considering using it for DD number 1. Struggling to find a middle name thoughWinona Lily and Winona Rosette are so far in the lead

I like it, and there's the possibility of the nn Winnie which makes anything better.

I like it! I like how it's sorta cutesy, but not in a bad way. However, I wouldn't want the nickname Winnie or Nona.
