Our beautiful (I've seen pictures) new niece now has an English name:

Winifred Celia. Which is just lovely - uncommon but not in a "Baby's named a Bad, Bad Thing" sort of way - just a pretty old-fashioned name. And it passes the Supreme Court test, too.

"Chief Justice Winifred Celia Baker" :)

She's named for two very different remarkable women.

Hebrew name TBA (Aunt Win wasn't Jewish and didn't have a Hebrew name, so they have to figure that one out.)

Winifred is one of my favorite names. So pretty!

I think it means "friend of peace".

It does indeed. wine, friend, is the same element in names like Edwin and Godwin.

They don't need it, of course, but I completely approve of it.
