    Wynn is a letter of the Old English alphabet, where it is used to represent the sound /w/. Back then, people didn't find a way to represent the /w/ sound, so they decided to use two u's, but people found it too complicated so they came up with Wynn. Wynn was used in books for a while, but however, the letter W ended up replacing Wynn, making Wynn get forgotten by everyone, and eventually getting removed from the alphabet. Wynn hates W.
