Waht do you think of Queenie?

[mrsruffallo]

Any opinions?

Lillian reminds me of that tart from 'Bread'. (showig my age now!)

lilo lil!

I like Mildred and Meredith.

Lilian sounds a bit weak to me. I like a name to have a tiny bit of 'nobody's gonna fuck with me up its sleeve'. So Jillian or Meredith or Mildred all nice imo.!

Mildred is baaad

I don't know if anyone has already said this, but Queenie is a nickname if you have the same name as the reigning queen.

Call her Elisabeth.

Elisabeth too twee, sorry

How odd, I was reading a book with a Queenie in it just recently and thought 'what a lovely name'. Maybe it's due a revival.

Going by this thread i do get that distinct impression, Horton!

MrsR - you are ahead of the curve - celebrate it, and name that child!

Queenie is a nick name - not a name.

Hang on a minute - Elizabeth is twee, but Queenie isn't??????

It's cool to be about 5 yrs ahead of the curve. Calling your child Trever just to be 30 yrs ahead of the curve is not cool.

Trevor, I mean.

I wouldn't even name a pet guinea pig that.

Listen OP, what about.......

Jeannie

Is that not quite sweet, a bit pretty and it has a bit of that crustiness that Queenie has without being totally scabby??

sorry.

Little old lady, giant Minnie Mouse shoes, hat and handbag.

Don't like Queenie atall.

sorry.

Yuk, it sounds like a name for an old terrier dog.

my first impression is of an old lady, but children do tend to grow into their names.Not a personal fav of mine, I don't know of anyone old or young with that name (or any pets either!).

I just read a biography about a lady who named one of her daughters this. In about 1750.

Queenie was my gran's best friend. She would be about 108 now if she was still alive...
