Not my cup of tea. Just reminds me of Churchill or Ray Winston the actor.

I think Ray Winston is fab.......especially in 'Sexy Beast'. Fab film. Quite fancy watching it now.........

No joke, our surname is Churchill - so no way could WE ever use that name. We did think though that it would be a cool name if we ever had a dog!

Lottie- that's the one! How weird, it's a tiny place.

MarkStretch. I live the other side of Framlingham, friends of my late fathers live in Winston as does John Gummer i believe?

not personally my cup of tea but could be worse!!

Yes, he is the resident celebrity. I went to Thomas Mills. Loved Fram.

I like it. Win/Wyn is quite cool as a short version, there is one in Arcade Fire IIRC and it suits him.

Arfabrain · 22/10/2008 15:18

Win/Wyn sound lovely I reckon.

aww.i like it

i like it a lot and it was on my list. DH rejected it though ... instead we get to share a DS name with Kerry Katona.

badkitty · 24/10/2008 09:27

My DH is insisting we use it as middle name for our soon to be ds - on the basis that it was the name of his much loved childhood dog... I have tried explaining that we can't name ds after a labrador, however nice he was, but he is insisting. I am please Billie has used it - now it is a trendy celeb name rather than just a pet's name...

Brilliant name.
Very cool.
