Wee Willie Winkie

One of our authors was unfortunately saddled with the name "Winkie".

I'm not sure why anyone would do that to a child, ever, but her parents did and it is to her credit that she has grown into a functioning adult.

Of course this doesn't mean we (myself and her editor) won't poke fun at it. We do. Frequently.

When the topic of "what the hell kind of a name is Winkie?!" came up again today, I decided to surf around to find the nursery rhyme "Wee Willie Winkie", which is what I always think of when I hear her name. I figured maybe I could find something interesting or funny to speak about.

Then I found this (also linked above):

and determined that I would not be able to write anything nearly as witty, so you may as well read this.
