Do you know many?

I like quirky type names.

I think of Adrian MoleSmile

Cor Blimey, govnor.

Ladyface · 20/07/2014 21:04

Makes me think of Blackadder!

Chachah · 20/07/2014 21:05

Adrian Mole

Velvetbee · 20/07/2014 21:05

Big east-end family.

Velocirapture · 20/07/2014 21:05

Please, no.

Bowlersarm · 20/07/2014 21:06

Due a revival.

Maybe not yet though.

Appletini · 20/07/2014 21:08

Have you never seen Blackadder?!

SuzySheepSmellsNice · 20/07/2014 21:09

My great aunt...

NorbertDentressangle · 20/07/2014 21:09

No way.

Cereal0ffender · 20/07/2014 21:11

Lol

Mintyy · 20/07/2014 21:11

Terrible. It would mark you out as a parent who likes "quirky type" names.

What about Pearl? much nicer.

thatstoast · 20/07/2014 21:12

For a boy or a girl?

Sparkletastic · 20/07/2014 21:14

I think 'common'.

No I don't know any.

TheMasterNotMargarita · 20/07/2014 21:14

Blackadder. There are many nicer names you could go for.
It is really not good, sorry.

MrsPixieMoo · 20/07/2014 21:15

Bert's wife in Adrian Mole.

LiberalLibertines · 20/07/2014 21:16

The only Queenie I've ever known was a pony who seemed to enjoy kicking people so that alone would put me off!

joanofarchitrave · 20/07/2014 21:19

Well, Beryl apparently is back in, so I'd never say never.

Except about this name. Never.

weatherall · 20/07/2014 21:22

That makes Virginia or Regina sound like good names. Grin

ClashCityRocker · 20/07/2014 21:24

If your talking about a corgi, fine.

For a child, not so much. The only queenie I know is a drag artist.

myotherusernameisbetter · 20/07/2014 21:37

As in the nick name for Elizabeth? I'd think, poor child, what's wrong with Elizabeth.

I LOVE it! DP said no. There's a famous Chinese celebrity with that name and I know a thirty year old woman. I think is playful and sweet and really don't get why people dislike it! Its esp great because of Black adder.
