Re: Fictional character name help: Winifred
in reply to a message by Feorsteorra
Your storyline went for old-school/consevative names, so I would guess it to be a family from a structured background or event a strict one.
For that reason, I think Catherine might be best for the middle. A solid and classic choice for the conservative folk. Carol might work if it was honoring.
Depending on your character's personality, I would either go bold with the nickname "Fred" if she is a bit rebellious against the staunchness of her youth, or I would go with a soft choice like Winnie, because that is the most recognizable nickname for Winifred and most likely to be used by her parents.
I quite like Winifred Catherine Barnes as a character name.
