Winika

[frenchie4002]

Thoughts? I think I quite like it. A rare floral name of a Christmas orchid

I both love it and hate it and I'm not really sure why.

I think it sounds a little like a name you might use for penis, willy/Winky/winika.

@NuffSaidSam Lol it does actually!

Yes, I misread it as Winkia - so it sounds something like a cute name for a penis.

But if you are going to call her Winnie anyway, it's OK I guess.

Hmmm not keen. Like Winnie though.

Sorry but I think it's awful. Winnie is hideous too.

I really don't like it - too much like winky, which is slang for Willy round here...

Lots of valid willy related feedback. Think it’s put me off a bit!

Absolutely dreadful
Worst name I've seen on here in a while

Is it pronounced Wi-ni-ka
or
Win-eek-a

First thing I thought from the thread title was : PENIS.

Sister to Balonz?

Awful. Truly truly awful.

There's been many a thread on here by adults who have resented their parents for their unusual unique names that pther people haven't been able to pronounce right, or silly offensive nicknames are made from them, or resulted in years of bullying etc.

Don't call your child this. They'll resent you for it in later life.

First thoughts winky too please don't do that to a child!

Winika- penis
Orchid- testicle

Not the connotation I’d pick for my daughter 😁

Makes me think of Winnetka, the town and also the band The Winnetka Bowling League

Haha agreed the willy association is too strong!

Winky-Wanka.

Not my choice but each to their own

I can well imagine it turning up in that advert as one of the many euphemisms before the man starts angrily shouting "Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!"

I know someone who has a similar type of name (ends in the ika) and they hate their name. No one can pronounce it properly.

Willy wonka came to mind first of all which also ties in to penis association. Definitely one to avoid

Nope that's not a name.

Makes me think of Winky the house elf.

She'd probably get called Willy wonka too.. or Willy wanker.. (when she hits high school)

I was picked on a lot for my name. It wasn't even that bad.
When I had kids I wanted unusual names however I'd sit there for a while and picture myself as a 15 year old with that name and thought of all the ways in which other kids could take the piss.

One of my kids still has an unusual name, however you'd be hard pushed to come up with something really horrific for it.

Awful, sorry. The poor kid would be teased endlessly.
