I dislike it ... it sounds gothier than
Raven or Ember.
I think it's much less annoying when it's spelled
Wynter, because then it looks more like a surname-derived name or something, it's namey and not so evocative of darkness and cold and dormancy and bleak landscapes and that slightly endangered feeling of being driven together in warm places.
Okay, so I hate it a little bit less now that you made me think about it. But it's nms. Still too dark and desperate. I like
Summer as a name.
I'd rather call someone
Winter than
Winnie, I guess because of the word whinny.
Winnie isn't awful but it just sounds dorky to me.
