I really like this name.
What are your opinions and have you ever met a Bonnie?

I had a beautiful Labrador while I was growing up, she was named Bonnie. There are lots of Labradors named Bonnie,I'm not entirely sure why Grin I can't think of the name in any other context now.

I knew a Bonnie. Her mother was utterly weird.

I knew a Connie. She was our Labrador when i was a kid.

I am not a fan of Bonita, I don't mind too much that Bonnie is almost nickname sounding becasue Tilly is.
I like Connie, only thing that puts me off is my sisters step son is Connor (nn Con) feel it may be too similar, but I do like it and OH does as well :)
I also like that Connie would share the same initials as Charlie and dad Chris :) Not sure which I prefer though!

Bonnie is a really nice name but feels as if it should be short for something... The only name I can think of right now is Bonita which isn't great imo.
Do you like Connie short for Constance?

Bonnie or bonny is a nice way of saying a bit fat or chubby where I am from.

Siblings are Charlie and Tilly - )I seem to like 'ee' ending names
Do you think people will always have the Bonnie and Clyde connection?

I agree if she's ugly it's a shame, but if she's like Tills then that's fine ;)

I like it a lotSmile
as long as there's not a sibling name Clyde

Like it but feel child has a lot to live up to - what if they're not bonny, they could end up being a laughing stock. I know one though and she's gorgeous.

Never met one. I think it's rather nice.
