Is Winnie a real name? It’s the name of that kiddie bear I know, but do people actually have “Winnie” as a name?
Today at the restaurant (even with my sore toe after a minor surgery), I saw that on the check, the waiter’s name is Winnie. She is a girl. I assume Winnie is a girl’s name? But Winnie the bear is a male bear, I think.
It’s either that
- The waiter is actually a guy.
- Winnie the bear is actually a girl.
- One of them is confused over the gender of the name “Winnie”.
- Or I’m being hyper-critical.
But still, the intended gender of a name defines your gender doesn’t it? At first upon hearing the name, I’d think of a guy named Stacey differently than Bob. Or maybe that’s how names like Jackie become available for both genders.

And that’s what you get from watching the Matrix Trilogy for the 20th time.
I know someone who has the last name of Winnie…shes a girl. But they have a boy too. So for a sir name i think its no gender.
I dont know about a boys name though, to me its a girlie name to have for a first one. Thats just my opinon though. Thats why Winnie the Poo had it for his name, he was supposed to be very nice and kind.
I also question Winnie the Poo’s gender :P
