Origin
Nom propre : nom créé en 1926 par Alan Alexander Milne. The name Winnie derives from Winnipeg: it was chosen by the author in reference to a bear residing at the London zoo, where he used to go with his son. The animal had been given to the zoo by Captain Harry Colebourn, a veterinarian in the Canadian army, during the First World War. Colebourn had tamed the bear and named her Winnipeg in memory of his home town. First nameTranslated by Arcanes from the French Wiktionnaire, entry “Winnie”, text and translation under CC BY-SA 4.0.

The meaning of the numbers comes from numerological tradition; it isn't a measure of your personality. A full portrait needs your first and middle names, your last name at birth, and your date of birth. How we calculate
Your name and theirs
The number of each name, and the number of the bond, which comes from adding them together. A symbolic game: what your two names say together, to be read as a metaphor, not as a verdict on your relationship.
