The name Whimsy is a girl's name of English origin. Whimsy and is often added to lists like Unique Baby Names: Unusual and Rare and discussed in our forums with posts like "Picky Parents BNG".
From the experts:
Whimsy is a new entry to the ever-expanding word name lexicon, sister for Pixie and Bliss. While it has an undeniable offbeat English aristocratic charm (maybe we're thinking of Dorothy Sayers' fictional detective Lord Peter Wimsey, whose middle name was Death?), we see this as more fitting for a middle than a first name.

I've got a character named Whimsy (I don't fully recall why I called her that), but I really like it. It suits her, and I think it would work in the real world, too, especially as a nickname, maybe for Wilma/Wilhelmina/Winona, or, as a previous poster has mentioned, Winifred.

Don't see the attraction myself. It sounds kind of ridiculous.

Love love love this! I'd even use it as a boy's middle if it flowed well

I met a little girl called Whimsy buy it was her nickname for, if I remember correctly, Winifred. I thought it was cute :)

Funny, I have a 12-year-old character named Whimsy as well. The best part is, she's totally spunky and moody. She can be very whimsical when she's in a good mood, but she usually isn't :)
