Re: Wintra, Wilda, and Wanda
in reply to a message by noel
Hi !!!Wintra 4/10 is too harsh in my opinion. I much prefer Winterina.Wilda / Wylda 3/10 seems dated.Wanda 6/10 is an old fave of mine. I like the sound but not the meaning. I prefer Lavanda (Lavender) over it.Personal Name Lists https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/125456

I think I like Wanda and Wilda in rhotic accents. If you had that name in non-rhotic accent areas, people could think your name was Wander or Wilder. (Although I do like Wilder -- total guilty pleasure name for me, way trendier than the names I usually like.) It just occurred to me that maybe Wilda is a short-I sound, like WILL-duh? I hate that. I would only like it with a long-I sound. Wintra seems made up. I don't like anything about it.
