Help[Opinions] strangely ...
in reply to a message by LiaMaria
I read a sad news article yesterday where a young woman was found dying in her home, and she was able to ask the paramedics/police "Where's Winston?" before she died. Winston turned out to be her baby son who was found safe with his father, who is charged with killing the mother.
Terrible story, but I mention it because if somebody just asked me "Where's Winston?" and I didn't know who Winston was, I would be likely to think he was a dog or cat.
It just seems that comical and pompous. (The cat from Pet Sematary was named Winston Churchill.)

Thats where I saw the name, interestingly enough! And it caught my attention because I don't hear many babies named Winston.

it's my impression ...
From various trivia things I've read, that it was once a very popular name in Jamaica, and a lot of reggae musicians and DJ's non-stage names were Winston or Neville.
