On the Winifred post I was reminded of Winnie, and how that was Winifred's nickname in Tuck Everlasting. I hated Winnie then. I still hate Winnie now. Win would be my preferred nickname for Winifred (with Fred second), but as soon as you add that long-E the sound immediately becomes juvenile to my ears. And if I were cursed with Winnie as my full, legal name, I'd start using Win... as short for Winnie. Oh, that just sounds terrible.

And I didn't watch Winnie the Pooh as a child, or read any of the books, so I don't even have that positive association.
