A Mother's Love: The Inspiration Behind Naming Winnie

This Mother’s Day we're celebrating the special bond between mothers and their children, and there's no better way to honour this connection than by exploring the story behind the names we choose for our little ones. We’d love to share the heart-warming story behind the name of a very special member of the Namelyco family – Winnie. You may already be familiar with Winnie, Rheanna's daughter, who has graced our photos and made regular appearances on our Instagram feed. But do you know the touching tale behind her name? 

The Inspiration Behind the Name:

For Rheanna, naming her children isn't just about finding a pleasing combination of sounds; it's about weaving threads of love, heritage, and cherished memories into their very identity. When it came to her third child, she found herself drawn to a name steeped in family history—Winifred.

Winifred wasn't just a name; it was a tribute to Rheanna's beloved grandmother, whose gentle spirit and unwavering love had left an everlasting mark on her heart. By bestowing this name upon her daughter, Rheanna sought to honour her grandmother's legacy of warmth, kindness, and strength, ensuring that her spirit lived on through the newest member of their family, now affectionately known as Winnie.

The Power of Personalisation:

Namelyco personalised blankets are more than just blankets; they’re treasured keepsakes, capturing all the love and identity of the person who receives them. Rheanna decided to have 'Winifred' knitted into her daughter's special blanket, it was more than just a name—it was a symbol of love and belonging, a reminder of her great-grandmother's enduring legacy. Celebrating Motherhood:

As we celebrate Mother's Day, let's take a moment to honour the love and boundless devotion of mothers everywhere. Whether it's through the names we give our children, the traditions we pass down, or the everyday moments we share, motherhood is a journey filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories.

To all the mothers, grandmothers, and mother figures out there, we wish you a Happy Mother's Day filled with warmth, joy, and unforgettable moments with your loved ones.
