As i don't know the sex of my baby I am having to compile a list of both possibilities.

What do you think of Winston??

Churchill of course!

Cute - but it's the name of my brother's dog so makes me think of him!

I like, but in my head someone says it in an Afro Caribbean accent!!

DPotter · 02/10/2013 17:08

OOhh Yes ! oooo NOOOOO !

sorry couldn't resist and if I can't neither will others
and I also agree about the Caribbean accent - although it's probably non PC to say so - sorry

It's cool!

Love it! Smile

Hate it for the reasons above.

I don't really like it.

That's what Billie Piper and her H called their DC1 a few years' ago. At the time I thought oh, can't imagine a baby being called that, quite wacky, he'll grow into it. Since then it's grown on me, nice to have a classic name.

Love it! Great classic strong underused name!

And Churchill is no bad associationSmile.

Billie Piper's kids are called Winston and Eugene. Poor boys. Both names make me wince.

PossessedPollyPumpkin · 03/10/2013 12:25

Its lovely.

Winston is a cool name, really like it! It sounds strong, masculine and classic and isn't overused. Great choice!
