What about Winston?

[Signoritawhocansway]

Anybody got/heard of a Winston in the not too distant past?

[katemiddletonsnudeheels]

I suppose you can't go wrong with a famous prime minister :)

[TroysMammy]

There was a Winston in East Enders.

[gingerboy1912]

I know of two dogs called Winston, ones a chocolate lab and the other one is a springer spaniel. Hth

[cecinestpasunepipe]

Our tortoise when I was a child was called Winston. Other than that, all the Winstons I have met have been of Carribean heritage.

[Scoopmuckdizzy]

I was thinking of this name yesterday for DC3 but DH vetoed it. I think it's a fab name!

[MitzyLeFrouf]

Billie Piper's son is a Winston

[KingJoffreyLikesJaffaCakes]

The most level-headed of all the Ghostbusters.

[NoncommittalToSparkleMotion]

Awesome name. Win is a great nickname.

[GiraffingAbout]

I adore Winston and would use it if we didn't already have a W name. Wilson is another favourite.

[Signoritawhocansway]

Aw thanks everyone. Our surname begins with W, so I think it's probably out for us, but I thought of it and decided it was pretty cool!

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

I think of labradors.

I don't dislike Winston, but we tend to know most people with short versions of their given name, and Winnie would be awful for a boy.

[PunkAssMoFo]

I wanted winston, but wasn't allowed. I still love, but don't think ds could've carried it off anyway.

Everyone told me it was a dogs name too.

[manicinsomniac]

I know a 12 year old Winston but he's from a culture where I believe it's a popular name.

I think it's ok.

[GottaGetThisDone]

Winston was DS2 nickname while he was still a bump - he is now 24 and not called Winston but I kinda wish we had stuck to it {smile]

[Ifiwasabadger]

I know two Bulldogs called winston. That is all.....

[emmaluvseeyore]

I babysit for a little boy called Winston. It's a lovely name and really suits him. His brothers are Wilf and Albert.

[DerelictMyBalls]

A fine name.

[mrsschu]

Sounds very geeky and naff to me and not in a good way...

[HairyHarrietHildegaurd]

Had a cavalier King Charles spaniel called Winston but he was known by his nickname of Wincy. For obvious reasons I could never name a child of mine Winston, but it's not a bad name for a human.

[julfin]

An excellent name. And you can't go far wrong in life when your nickname is Win.

[LolaStarr]

I know a couple of horses called winston. Not keen on it as a human name!

[barbecue]

I like it. Other surnamey names like Harrison, Spencer, Harvey, Archer, Jackson etc. are fashionable so I don't see why Winston shouldn't be a good choice.

[Choccybadger]

I love Winston! If I'd had a boy, he would have been Winston or Laurence.
We have girls with classic/old-fashioned names - Grace, Eleanor and Alice.
So exciting to be naming a baby

I like it. Other surnamey names like Harrison, Spencer, Harvey, Archer, Jackson etc. are fashionable so I don't see why Winston shouldn't be a good choice.

I see it as very different from those names (some of which I'm not a fan of).
