What does everyone think of Queenie as a first name?

[Chottie]

Do you know many?

I like quirky type names.

Love it! The Queenie I know is 103. I think it's much nicer than other old ladies names such as Edith, Ivy, Ruby etc.

I think Adrian Mole or the scouse habit of calling women "queen"

Adrian Mole and Bert the pickled beet root man's wife.

Dear god no!

Makes me think of cats

Don't do it.

I know a Queenie, she is about 4 years old and the name really suits her.

Her mum is gorgeous and has that Rockabilly, Amy Winehouse type vibe.

I ADORE it, and although I'm 99.999999999999% sure I won't be having any more DCs, I'm 100% sure she would be called Queenie if she were a girl. I know many people will not like it but she will grow into her name and what a name! Love love love

p.s. In a bizarre coincidence, I was just thinking about this name, seconds before I saw your post!

Fine.
As long as you give birth to a 90 year old and you live in the East End of London Town.

Seriously? It's awful.

Oh my god, no no no. Just no.

Wasn't it originally a nickname for Victoria (who was queen at the time)? If so it could be a nickname for Elizabeth, that way she has other options if she doesn't like it when she grows up.

I actually really like it. I don't think I'd have the guts to use it.

It's dreadful.

No no no.

What???

That's not a name. People will be asking what her real name is.

It's not really my style, but I love it. It make me think of sassy Victorian cockneys.

Knees Up Mother Brown.....

I knew a dog called that when I was little, and I remember thinking it was pretty rank rotten then too - sorry :(

Mrs Bug - I already said it was a nick name for Elizabeth.....I'm not old enough to remember it as a nick name for Victoria... :o

Predictably, I love it. I too love quirky names and have a ds with a hated by mumsnet, quirky, try too hard name.

Nooooooo

I don't think I've ever seen a unanimous opinion on baby names before
