This is one of the few names I like.

What do you think? Do you like it?

I like it. Was one of the names mooted for our baby boy. He looks like a Winston too.

Hello again!
I love Winston, but dh said no. I did my A-levels with a Winston and he was a gem!
Fab name!

No it's awful.

randomname · 12/04/2009 19:23

People may think you are a Billie Piper fan!

bettany · 12/04/2009 20:21

DH still not keen and we told friends yesterday who felt the same as DH but I love it

You can't call him Winnie!

Winston is not to my taste but it's not awful.

love it, sounds cool. one of my faves. was john lennons middle name after churchill

LastOrders · 13/04/2009 10:39

Think Winston only works if you have a bit of a burly robust child!

Wouldn't look quite right on a milky bar type child IYSWIM!

Wow strong opinion there mrswoolf. I appreciate the honesty though

OP posts:
ScottishThistle · 13/04/2009 19:41

Not keen, a very strong name to carry off I think!

chequersmate · 13/04/2009 19:42

Too strongly associated with Billie Piper for me. Don't like Winnie either.

Much prefer Wilfred, have you considered that?

bouncebouncebounce · 13/04/2009 20:08

Is it really strongly associated with her though? I mean, how many people actually know what her son is called?
