How should I spell my nickname?
Hey friends and fam. Welcome to Winfield's new blog! Right now the content is mostly repeats of stuff posted elsewhere, but soon enough this will be THE place to come for recent Winfield happenings and photos. To start things out with a bang we'll use this venue to solicit feedback on the following question: how should we spell Winfield's shortened nickname - Win or Wynn? Please tell us your honest opinion and also comment on whether it is permissable to have a nickname that differs in spelling from the original name. Winfield's pretty concerned about this issue, and he would appreciate some counsel.

"Winn" seems like a good option, because it differentiates from the word "Win" and still has the same vowel as Winfield. Either way, he's very winning! And soft!
i kinda like the way "wynn" looks better, but most people who don't know would defintely spell it "win" or "winn", and it might be easier that way. i like "winn" better than "win". but then again, we spell miciah's nickname "kiah".
I like Winn personally, or "The General" is always good too.
I like the way "Wynn" looks better but usually go for spelling it the way the name is spelled.....but really it doesn't matter to me. I'll be happy with whatever you guys decide :)
Hey, If "Kate" can be short for "Catherine" and "Bill" is short for William, and "Bob" is short for "Robert" and "Jack" is short for "John" (Actually I don't know how they made "John" shorter, but ... anyway) All that to say that if you want to call him Wynn, I see no problem with that at all. I like it! And in fact, We have two "Win's" at our church. Not sure how they spell their names, though.
I like Win. I'm not totally committed to the same vowell, but positive reinforcement for a lifetime isn't a bad thing :)
How about uyin? or Wuin? or ugyen? Those seem fairly reasonable to me.
