HelpWaynette & what would your name be?
Came across this name while watching Netflix. It's a new one for me! I thought it was kinda cute in a very clumsy, twangy way. Thinking of it as Wayne + ette isn't so great, but Way + nette makes me think of Wynette, which is fun.
When I see a clunky feminization like this, I always assume it's a daughter named after her father. If I had been named after my dad, my name would have been Bernadette, or maybe Bernardine, if we wanted something really awkward!
If you had been named after the parent of the other gender, what would your name have been??

Oh neat! It came full circle again, I like that.
My mother is named Catherine; I found that the male equivalent is Cathrinus. I don't particularly like that at all, lol.
Timothea
My mom has even called me Timothea on occasion, half-jokingly, if she thinks I'm acting too much like my dad. :-P
I personally think Timea is much nicer, if I had to choose a name like this.

Waynette is interesting. I met a guy named Wiley today - I can imagine Wiley and Waynette as siblings.
Bryanna, Bryony, Kendra, Kenina
Bryony Kendra / Bryony Kenina seems nice to me (at least as good as my actual name!), but Bryanna / Bryana would be depressing.

I'd have been Cecily, and I really wish I was. Timeless, cheerful and pretty - what's not to like? I'm comfortable with my actual names, but Cecily Beatrice, after both parents, would have pleased me more.
Wynette is cute
Mine would be Artura, Arturina, or Arturia maybe. The latter is not bad.
I saw a character named Benedictine and I kind of love it.

My dad is Gary. Would I have been Garett, or would it have to be made up? Garia?
My dad’s name is Roger, so there is NO good outcome of that.
I love Bernadette (and Bernadine)!
Waynette is pure twang and quite fun.
My mom was Amy, so maybe I’d have been Amyas, which I love (stress on the first syllable). Amis?

Be ambitious: be Regina!
Royse or Roya are possibilities
My dad's name is "Bob" so I would be something like: Roberta, Robertina, Rupertina, Bobbie, Robina, Robena, Ruperta, Birdie, Roberte
I think Robertina is the most awkward one. 'Robert' and 'Tina' are such complete opposite names!
ETA: If I was a boy named after my mom it would be something like Teresio or Teresius (like Tiresias but as a male form of Theresa?)

Lynn or Lynette - my dad is Lynn.
Best I've ever come across is Webblynn.

Webblynn sure is fun!
I always had a soft spot for Lynette. I think it's really sweet, it makes me think of little songbirds.

I think Waynette is kind of cute- in a twangy sort of way as you said. My friend's mom is Ruthella which actually gives me the same vibe even though it's not a feminization. She was from Appalachia so that may be influencing that vibe.
My dad is Paul, so I could have been Paula, Pauline, or Paulette.

Yeah, Ruthella does have the same vibe! I quite like that actually.
I'll have to use my stepfather's name. His name is Larry, not short for Lawrence. So I guess I'd be Larreen? *barf* Larita?
Or just Laura or Lauren.

Myla or Mylie
Don't like waynette at all
Ricardine, Richenda but I'd prefer Richelle
