User:Feenee

'Feenee' is a family nickname adopted by the Whitehouse family branch now in the North-East of England. It originated in the 1970's as a descriptive term used by Katharine Whitehouse (nee Fox) and her friends at University College, London, about each other as in " you're a feenee". It was taken to mean that the person was mischievous and possibly 'up to no good'. History does not record who first used it within the circle of friends.

Katharine later married Michael Whitehouse. Michael adopted 'TheFeenee' as his nickname on several websites and then used it as his email address at Hotmail. He then registered 'MrsFeenee', 'MissFeenee' and 'MrFeenee' as names for Katharine and his children. Katharine's Mother then joined in as 'GranFeenee'.

When Michael set up his own company in 2005 it seemed a natural continuation of the theme to use 'Feenee Ltd'.
