Having a baby girl? Coming up with a name for your baby is one of the most important things to cross off your checklist before your little eight-pounder arrives. But with so many options to choose from, it can also seem a little daunting.
The good news is you've already narrowed it down to a girl's name that starts with "W". Good choice! Some of the most charming old-fashioned girl names start with the letter W. Here are eight W-names to get your gears turning. Take a look!
A beautiful comeback name with literary cred via Pulitzer prize-winning author Wilella "Willa" Cather.
Considered dreadfully frumpy a generation ago, today you're more likely to hear this beautiful comeback name in the playground than a nursing home. Winnie could also be used as a nickname for names like Winifred and Edwina.
This W-name has a definite vintage vibe that may or may not appeal.
A beautiful old-fashioned name with equally retro nickname options (Winnie, Nona, Win...).
A multi-syllabic name that might work well with a short and simple last name.
An irrevocably geriatric name not suitable for a modern baby, or a neglected gem of a name loaded with retro charm? You decide.
Traditional and charming, or old and dated? Depends on the eye of the beholder.
A vintage find with the currently underused -da suffix.
