Honest opinions.. Winifred

[viixie]

I have nowhere else to ask but I quite like the name. We don't actually know what we are having but if it's a girl, we quite like 'Winnie' as a nickname. I'm just not sure if Winifred sounds far too Granny or the 'Fred' sounds too boyish.

Please be honest and brutal (if necessary)

I don't want her to grow up with a name she will hate, thank you

It's awful.

Whiney
Whinney
Winnie the Pooh etc etc

It sounds frowsty and frumpy
It makes me think of someone wrinkling their nose up when they smell something bad

It's just really bad and has no redeeming qualities at all.
