Winifred?

[Sexnotgender]

I hate picking a name😂

Winnie would be her usual name but would put Winifred on the BC.

Love it!

[Arrierttyclock]

I love love love the name Winnie- I do like a full name on a BS though! I once knew a girl from Hong Kong called Winnie back in the 90s and she was the most wonderful girl so the name has always held good memories for me

[LizFlowers]

Horrible.

[TriSarahTops]

My grandmother was Winifred. She used Frida as a nickname.

[ErrolTheDragon]

I have a relative in her 60s who is winifred and she found it old fashioned when she was young.

I'm 60, it was a name redolent of battleaxe Great Aunts in that era.

[adrianmolesmole]

It's a bit 'old fussy aunt', like a Prudence or Prunella type of name, so no.

[Firebird83]

I like it!

[peapotter]

Marmite!

I’d be interested to know the ages of the posters. I don’t like it. I’m over 40. Therefore I reckon it will become cool and popular soon.

[GarlicSoup]

Love it

Harry Hill has a daughter with that name according to wikipedia.

I came across a little English girl called winifred at an airport about 7 years ago

[BackforGood]

It seems to fit with all the "old lady names" that have been popular in the last few years.
Has a nice ring to it, too.

I do think there's a lot potential for 'Winnie the Pooh', then shortened to 'poo' ,but I actually still rather like it as a name.

[ProudAuntie76]

Hate it. It’s ugly/witchy/stuffy sounding.

I know a little Winifred, I did initially wonder what on Earth her parents were thinking and I still feel a lot of pity towards the poor child. Initial thought was “do you actually HATE your child?”

I’ve since come across two baby Hildegards which is just as bad a name and so it looks like the ugly name trend is here to stay. Wondering when I’m going to meet babies Gertrude, Edna and Helga.

[ProudAuntie76]

I do like Frida though. Like Kahlo. That’s cool and I would be very impressed at a baby Frida.

[DramaAlpaca]

No. Winifred is an unattractive name to me, as is Winnie.

[Smallonesaremorejuicy]

Yes , Winifred is a lovely name , Winnie is sweet nn .

[SmeleanorSmellstrop]

LOVE Winnie! I know two baby Winifreds with two very hipster sets of parents so think the name might be/start to gain momentum in those sort of groups. Very cool

[garlictwist]

Really? No.

[Papoy]

Isn't that Boris Johnson's new baby's name?!

[Iminaglasscaseofemotion]

My mums name and she has hated it her whole life.
Winnie the pooh!

[mathanxiety]

You're thinking of Wilfrid, Papoy

[Angelmonkey]

I know a teenager called Winifred, goes by Winnie - she hates it. I’m not keen, it it a bit old fashioned

[Papoy]

@mathanxiety ... oh yes, thats was his name isn't it... They sounded similar to me 😅

Sorry OP but this name doesn't do it for me either. The nickname winnie sounds sweet for a baby and at her older ages (like aunt winnie) but I dont think it will hold well in between.

How about Willow ?

[TheVeryHungryTortoise]

@peapotter to help with conducting your mini study: I'm 26 and love Winifred!
