Re: Winifred
in reply to a message by BBH
I adore Winifred, absolutely adore it. Winifred Mary is gorgeous. Not that I am biased, as those are my dd's middle names or anything. Funny you should hate Winnie, as my husband would have allowed me to use Winifred as a fn but refused to ever call her anything but Winnie. Winnie would be adorable on a small child, not so much an adult. I actually met a real life Winnie recently, and was so excited thinking it was short for Winifred. Imagine my disappointment when I found out her full name was Winnie.
I actually looked up my response from a previous post about Winifred, and copied and pasted it below.
There's something about the balance of the Win- (which I find light hearted and whimsical) and the -fred (which is slightly heavy and a wee bit dorky) that really apeals to me. Winnie makes me happy.
