I really like it, which Winnie as a nickname.

What do you think?

Hideous. Not all old lady names should be revived.

I love Winifred, with Freda as a nickname.

I don't think I like it - it says Winnie the pooh, or Winnie the Witch to me, or Winston Churchill.

I'd be worried about winnie the pooh - kids and poo jokes

Hedwig3 · 25/06/2010 17:50

LOVE it and all the nicknames

Magalyxyz · 25/06/2010 16:30

I love Winnie, but not Winifred.

Winnie Mandela is unfortunate I suppose, but I still like it.
