What does everyone think of Queenie as a first name?

[Chottie]

Do you know many?

I like quirky type names.

It's ridiculous as a given name.

Well,I like it.

Yeah, I think it's a nickname for either Victoria or Elizabeth-forget which.
See, I don't hate it, but those kind of "Pearl, Jean, Shirley" type names that are very mid 20th centrury are becoming very in, so I would worry her name would seriously date her.
I like Q though. Tres Bond

"Princess" is a Pit Bull. You weren't serious about that were you??

Nice

I like it

Love it!

Love it

I think it is nice for a tiny child or a really old lady. However I can't imagine a 45 year old Queenie with two kids, a job, a husband and a mortgage.

If you are planning to give birth to a large breeding sow who will lie lie by the back door nosing food scraps from a pail while nursing piglets it is PERFECT.

I'm actually going to give my cat (when I get one) this name. Love love love it!

Can you see an adult of importance being called Queenie? A supermarket worker maybe- but a merchant banker, a doctor, a teacher? No.

A particular couple of friends refer to me as Queenie. I love it. :-)

I think it's Elizabeth. Why not give the DD the long name and just call her Queenie all the time? We did something similar with DB and our DSs.

Then she gets to choose which she uses.

I know a birth certificate 'Lottie'. I could never understand why they didn't just call her Charlotte and leave the child's options open.

mulberry I disagree with you entirely!
I think if a person is 'important' then it doesn't matter what they're called. I can easily imagine a Queenie Last being interviewed on the bbc as an expert in something or other.

Mulberrylover we'll have to agree to disagree on your views on Queenie - times have moved on so far as names are concerned. I know plenty of adults of importance with names that might be considered in some circles as quirky or dare I say it common and no-one bats an eyelid.

I love Queenie but I love Bridie more! Go for it OP

Love, love, love it .

Love it.

You know children who are actually called Princess? Gee whizz.

Love love love it!! ... Was on my short list but i went & had a boy!!

I love it. Also love the name Birdie which I think is also a nickname for Elizabeth?

I want a maltipoo bitch and her name will be Queenie.

And she will be the baddest bitch on the street! Queenies don't mess around.

Sorry, I don't like it much at all. I think it was originally a nickname for 'Victoria' (for obvs reasons) and it still seems rather dated and more a nickname than a proper name.
