I like quirky type names.

I had a great aunt queenie. She died when I was a child so I never knew if it was her real name, or a nickname. But everyone just called her queenie and it worked! (queenie fan here - can you tell?)

I absolutely love it and it's in my list. I love the east end origins. Totally winner in my book x

It's lovely and unusual, and I can totally imagine her being a VIP with that name. PM, doctor, professor, international trapeze artist etc.

Op what other names are on your list?

It's an old scouse expression of affection like love, darling or sweetheart.

It is not a name and just sounds very common & try hard.

I was going to mention Bridie too as I used to know sisters called Queenie and Bridie.
Good old scouse names.
