I really don't like it, sorry. Just personal taste. I kind of like the nickname Winnie, but I really dislike Winifred. It just sounds awkward to my ears for some reason.
I think with the older names coming back into style it fits very well! I love the combo of Maddie & Winnie!! I've only ever known one other Winnie and she was one of the sweetest women I knew and had a fabulous sense of humour. So if DH is on board I say go for it as a first name!!
Thanks again for all the opinions everyone. A lot of good things to think about. I also like the NN Winnie more than the full name Winifred, although as I mentioned it's growing on me more and more each day.
Ill "try out" some of the other names suggested and see how they roll off the tongue.
I appreciate you all taking the time out to respond!

You could also use Guinevere (also Gwenevere) and call her Winnie, but she also might end up with the nickname "Gwen."
I dislike Winona, but I'm from MN, so that name makes me think of the college town.
