I've posted about this once before; I have a character named Matthew and I am going through decision paralysis in regards to the choice of his surname. Sounds like petty little thing, but it is quite important to me.
I narrowed it down to two: Wynman and Wynrose.
Wynman sounds more firm and masculine, Wynrose more Romantic and adventurous, both fit the character perfectly. I could use an extra perspective.

Agreed, Matthew is a very masculine name

ESL here. I often wonder how different names are perceived by the native English speakers. So, you say Matthew is indeed perceived as masculine? Or are you being facetious?

What about names like Sean, Patrick, or Walter? Perhaps I could make a whole thread about it.

don't know what your intentions with the character are, but i think a cool surname would be from the name of one of the other apostles, for example matthew johnson

Wynrose is objectively better
