Queenie for a girl... too Blackadder?

I really like this name. Ever since I saw the film 'This happy breed' about a London family in the 20s, 30s and 40s. My family (one side at least) are old Acton London towners. So I might be able to get away with the 1920s cockney vibe. But worried it won't go with our 'foreign' surname or that it sounds like a 90 year old biddy. Anyone know any Queenies?

So Queenie is not going down well? No cool vibe? I don't like Victoria or Elizabeth so it would have to be Queenie or nothing.... back to drawing board. Or maybe I could name a pet that name!

I'm cockney but don't even think I could get away with that one, and no I don't know any either.

My old dog was Queenie, she was lovely.

I like tearinghairout's suggestion.

It's awful. Don't do it.

It was a nickname for girls called Victoria. I like it

i love it as a nickname, isn't it short for something?
