I know a 5 yr old Faline - named after Bambi's cousin/sister.

I'd never be brave enough but I do like it in a way.

How about Balonz?

My XH is American and has a cousin named Bambi. Thankfully I’ve never met her because I’ve been able to say her name without giggling. It’s a ridiculous name for a grown woman

Don't do it.

No because i can only imagine a girl named bambi would be really pathetic and not good at anything. Also your phone autocorrects it to bamboo

Reminds me of the call girl in the secret diary of a call girl programme with billy piper!

Really?!! 🙄

It makes me think of a playboy bunny or similar.

Dear, deer, deer....

One of Pan's People? Monstrous.

Good name for a fawn.

It’s quite an ugly sound. But, yes, everyone would either think of the cartoon or a spangly stripper from 1982
