Terrible. It would mark you out as a parent who likes "quirky type" names.

What about Pearl? much nicer.

Blackadder. There are many nicer names you could go for.
It is really not good, sorry.

The only Queenie I've ever known was a pony who seemed to enjoy kicking people so that alone would put me off!

Well, Beryl apparently is back in, so I'd never say never.

Except about this name. Never.

That makes Virginia or Regina sound like good names. Grin

If your talking about a corgi, fine.

For a child, not so much. The only queenie I know is a drag artist.

As in the nick name for Elizabeth? I'd think, poor child, what's wrong with Elizabeth.

I LOVE it! DP said no. There's a famous Chinese celebrity with that name and I know a thirty year old woman. I think is playful and sweet and really don't get why people dislike it! Its esp great because of Black adder.
