Queenie Chu (Chinese: 朱慧敏; Chu Wai Man) is a Hong Kong television presenter and actress formerly affiliated with TVB. She was also Miss Hong Kong 2004 1st runner-up.
Lol, my Kindergarten teacher had this name. Pretty iconic teacher tbh.I personally think this is better than Queen because of the "ie" at the end so it's not just "Queen" so... y'know.
I like it---the nickname of one of my best friends in high school. Her name was similar to Michaela. We originally called her that because she played an evil queen in a school play and it stuck because she was boss.
Maybe it's weird, but this name has grown on me a lot, probably due to the Fantastic Beasts movies. I don't think I would name a child this -- there are other names that are much higher on my list, but I'd definitely consider it for a character. When I hear it, thanks to FB, I instantly think of a bold, intelligent woman from the 20s.
This name was given to me by my PE teacher, and it stuck. I use it regularly as I can't stand my given name, and my middle name is too risky to use in my current environment.
Queenie is a pretty chavvy name I'm gonna be honest, but my great grandma was called Queenie and she was a woman way ahead of her time and an inspiration to me, so this name will hold a place in my heart.
In the 19th and 20th centuries Britain, 'Queenie' was very common as a nickname for women with the then-Queen's name — for instance Victoria, or Elizabeth. This was especially noted in the East End of London. For British characters or people born in the early Victorian era, note that her name was very probably Victoria, or for those born c. late 1920s–1950s, Elizabeth. This phenomenon is almost unknown today, however.
I'd rather we all avoid using that name by any means, and just stick to something else. Isn't that name absolutely offensive towards other people, especially those with royal titles?
Queenie I think would be less tacky than "Princess" or "Queen", other titled modern names. Queenie just sounds like an actual name. It also sounds a bit like Jeanny.
A perfect babyish variant for Queen. Queenie will definitely work for a little girl who doesn’t ever want to be a princess, because that’s not enough, she would rather be a Queen all lifetime around. Queen sounds too strong for a baby girl, but Queenie is just perfect. But when Queenie reaches the drinking age, it may sound a little weird. Queen sounds a little better than Queenie, but both names aren’t bad.

This reminds me of the character Queenie from Fantastic Beasts who was overall my favorite character.
Queenie Goldstein, American witch in the 'Fantastic Beasts' film series. She and her sister Porpentina Esther "Tina" Goldstein are central characters in the first film, 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' (2016). Queenie is played by American actress Alison Sudol.
My name is Queenie. Yup. It is. And I happen to think that it isn't tacky but is good for any person because I happen to believe that your personality revolves around your name.
Queenie Epstein (born as Malka Hyman; she was nicknamed Queenie as Malka means "queen" in Hebrew) was the mother of English music entrepreneur Brian Epstein (Brian was best known for managing The Beatles).

The name Queenie is so very very ugly and trashy.

Actually, I've changed my mind about the name Queenie. It's not ugly or trashy, it's cute and unique! It's better than "Queen" as a name! :) You never expect names that you originally dislike to grow on you! ^^

The name Queenie was given to 40 baby girls born in the US in 2012.
I like the sound of this name, but I would never seriously consider it. I like it mostly because it's the name of Elizabeth "Queenie" I from Blackadder.
Every time I think of this name I think of Queenie the dog that pops out troy aunt sofa-bed in the movie Crooklyn lol. If you have ever seen the movie you know what I'm talking about.
