This is one of the few names I like.

What do you think? Do you like it?

I like it. Was one of the names mooted for our baby boy. He looks like a Winston too.

Hello again!
I love Winston, but dh said no. I did my A-levels with a Winston and he was a gem!
Fab name!

You can't call him Winnie!

Winston is not to my taste but it's not awful.

Think Winston only works if you have a bit of a burly robust child!

Wouldn't look quite right on a milky bar type child IYSWIM!

Not keen, a very strong name to carry off I think!

Too strongly associated with Billie Piper for me. Don't like Winnie either.

Much prefer Wilfred, have you considered that?

Is it really strongly associated with her though? I mean, how many people actually know what her son is called?
