Winifred?

[Purpleguppy]

Thoughts on the name Winifred? I didn't like it at first but it's growing on me as a classic but underused name.
Would be known as Winnie.

No (though Freddie is a sweet nickname for a girl).

To me, Winifred is the tall girl in Ballet Shoes with the ugly old brown velvet dress who was talented but never looked right for the part.

Sorry, no. It's just too old-fashioned.

Nooooooo!

I love it.

I like it!

I personally like it, but you’re always going to have people who don’t - so it just depends how much you want other people to like it too! 🙂

Oh I really love it! Winn, Freddie all cool.

I hate Winnifred but love Winnie and would just use that as her full name

Not keen on Winifred, but I love Winnie.

Have only met one. She's a brownie. Has little to no sense. Eg shouted 'hey you whose mother died' to get the attention of a 6yo whose mother had died the month before. So no I dont rate the name.

As much as I don't like the name i would not discount a name simply because a little girl was mean or whatever.

I have a son called Oliver and remember being at a party and there was a really naughty little boy there with the same name ( mine is 15 ) and I didn't suddenly dislike the name due to the behaviour of someone with the same name. What a strange thought process!

Love it honestly such a great name

Really? It's the thought process of every single teacher I know! Any children with the same name that are younger than your own children dont really affect it though - by that point your Oliver is the most important.

I love it and know two under ten. Both are known as Winnie.

(You must know quite a few very silly teachers, Redexpat).

Adorable, memorable and unusual. I like it.
