Comments for the name Winnie

Winnie Holzman is the creator of several American TV-series, including My So-Called Life which originally aired on ABC.

Winnie Foster, the young heroine of the fantasy novel 'Tuck Everlasting' by Natalie Babbett.

I immediately think of Winnie the Pooh.

Winnie-the-Pooh,
Winnie-the-Pooh,
Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff.
He's Winnie-the-Pooh.
Winnie-the-Pooh.
Willy, nilly, silly, old bear.

Winnie was the name of Kevin's love interest in the television show "The Wonder Years".

Could be a nickname for Winona.

My boyfriend calls me this as a nickname for my full name: Gwendolyn.

Winnie Madikizela-Mandela is a South African politician and ex-wife of former president Nelson Mandela. She was a controversial activist against the government under apartheid.

It sounds like the noise a horse makes, and then there's the Winnie-the-Pooh association. I don't know which one is worse.

I won't go into details, but it could lead to unpleasant nicknames, because of the bear.

I think Winnie is a very awesome sounding nickname. Too bad about the children's book character taking it over.

It's supposed to be a girls name, specifically. How come the old-man sounding bear got the name? Oh, well. What's done is done.
