HelpRe: Wine
in reply to a message by Quill
It's odd to use nowadays, but for me it wouldn't take to long to figure out it would mean 'friend' (like most -win names). In Dutch we've got Wijnand for example. I knew a guy named this and it never really bothered me it started with Wijn. I also knew someone who named their child Chablis (= a kind of wine) and that bothered me more.
Besides, when I look at names of Dutch people I know/have known personally, Wine doesn't seem that bad anymore:
Wiet
Joke
Trees
Lies
Jelle
Freek
Job
Ton
Cock
Kick
Puck
Flip (my dad :D)
Floor
(worst name I've ever encountered was Daddy on a GIRL!)

A lot of those names are perfectly normal to me, my sister's called Floor for example. Wine is equally weird in my opinion. Maybe as a nickname For Winona, it could work, since most of the names you listed are nicknames as well.
About the Wijnand thing - it doesn't really bother me, either. But it would be weird to meet someone called Wijn, right?
Chablis is awful, though.
And Daddy? That's HORRIBLE. Even on a boy.
