Winnifred Quick (1904-2002) was a second-class passenger on the Titanic. She survived the sinking along with her mother and younger sister. She was one of the last Titanic survivors to die.
Winnifred Eaton (1875-1954) was a Canadian author and screenwriter. Although she was of Chinese-British ancestry, she published most of her early work under the Japanese pseudonym 'Onoto Watanna'. Later in life, after remarrying, she published under Winnifred Reeve.
Winnifred Hudson (1905–1996) was a British-born painter who lived most of her life in Hawaii. Hudson worked as a secretary and took courses at the Honolulu Academy of Arts. At age 60, she quit her job to become a full-time artist. Although also making prints and collages, Hudson is best known for her hard-edge abstract paintings with a tenuous relationship to nature.
Winnifred is a delightful name, it really is - and I prefer this spelling. Despite still being relatively long, Winifred always looks like it's missing something.

This is such a cute little name even without the nickanme Winnie! This is so lovely, rare, this name should be a name of a flower! So sweet but not that well liked because of the Fred part. That's what makes it cuter. Much more unique. I love the name!
To be honest my name is Winnifred but every one calls me Winnie, I have to agree that Winnie is much cutter then Winnifred but with the times I realized how special my name was and how rare. Now I know that if WE don't do something to this name it will be a forgotten name, so people who are called Winnifred should be very proud and start (maybe) to name their kids Winnifred.
It's in the book "Castaways of the Flying Dutchman" (I think it was "castaways.") by Brian Jaques. Everyone thought she was a witch so they picked on her.Winnie the Witch with the wrinkly face, Come on out and give us a chase!And she had a cat named Horatio.

I'm not the biggest fan of the name as itself but the nickname, Winnie, makes it a lot cuter and more bearable.
