imagine naming your kid winnie? somebody had issues

guilderbellsuck guilderbellsuckOG 2003

Haha that would be hilarious. Then you can name the rest of your kids Piglet, Owl and Christopher Robin.

What if it was short for something....like Winifred?

guilderbellsuck guilderbellsuckOG 2003

Who would smoke that much hash to name their kid that?

specialk specialkOG 2003

But it did take place in the 60's, didn't it?

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

*pouts lip* my name is weird...

specialk specialkOG 2003

How so? What is your name?

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

oh it's Forreste

specialk specialkOG 2003

Well, I think it's cool, not weird. :) If it helps you feel better, mine is Keirsten, and no one ever pronounces or spells it right.

I had a friend in school named Keirsten and I always thought I'd name my daughter that.

specialk specialkOG 2003 thatdarngirl

Cool! Was it spelled the same way too? I've never met anyone who spells it the same way as I do....usually it "Kirsten." I can thank my parents for that. They added a letter to my brother's name too. Normally you'd spell his name "Aaron".....but my parents made it "Aarron." Very odd, they are.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 specialk

Yeah..I think she spelt it Kirsten.

dont be such a wanksta. haha 50 Cent. I still can't get over how dumb rappers names are. Its like hey buddy my name is D-Lish-Us.

At least that doesn't sound like it could be a guy's name. Winifred, on the other hand...

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 dgiaimo

are you kidding me?? everyone always thinks it is a guy's name.

D
dgiaimoOG 2003 forrestina

Really? I don't see how you could pronounce that in a way that would make it sound like a guy's name.

specialk specialkOG 2003 dgiaimo

Wait....which name are we debating here? Winifred? Forreste? Or Keirsten? I'm confused.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 dgiaimo

no everyone just associates it with Forrest Gump, Forrest Whittaker, Forrest Sawyer etc... all men

D
dgiaimoOG 2003 forrestina

Hmm... I didn't think of that. I still think it sounds bad as a guy's name, though.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 forrestina

be glad it's not Jungle

haha there was a kid in high school who called me Jungle Fever

Winifred sounds like Fred. Thats why most would assume its a guys name. Also sounds like names like Wilbur, Wilfredo, Willard etc...

starshiptrooper starshiptrooperOG 2003

its short for.....WINIFRED, which is even worse.
