I love this name but it feels like a better name for a dog than a boy but maybe that’s just because my schnauzer’s name is Winston. We also call him Winnie sometimes.

As a young woman going to college right now, I can only say that I always have had a fondness for uncommon vintage names. Winston being included in that particular mix. It is both classy, in my humble opinion, and has a certain old fashioned charm that gives me a benign feeling of happiness. :)

Winston Churchill is a bearer of this name. Many see him as a hero, but actually he was a disgusting man. He is one of the people behind the Bengal famine of 1943, during which 3 million people died of starvation and diseases. Winston Churchill once said: "I hate Indians, they are a beastly people with a beastly religion. The famine was their own fault for breeding like rabbits." And this famine is not the only horrible thing he has done. He was a horrible person.

It sounds a bit pompous and pretentious today, even though it hasn't always been that way. The name always reminds me of the misfortunate character Winston Smith in Nineteen Eighty-Four, which is another reason I don't feel like using it on a potential future son.
