Nemo
Dumbo
Tigger
Goofy

Oh Christ no - that really Is a porn actress name.

In Italy it’s just short for bambino - which means child not baby girl - and I’ve never heard anyone being called that - it would be weird.

Anyway NO

MaMaD1990 · 06/06/2021 21:13

Please, just don't.

drumandthebass · 06/06/2021 21:13

I thought you were joking.

oopsydaisyyy · 06/06/2021 21:09

no x
what about Nala x

DramaAlpaca · 06/06/2021 21:09

Would you really want to give a child a name with that meaning? She's going to grow up into an adult.

Bambi is an Italian girls name that means baby girl. Thanks for all the feedback though.

🤣 good one OP

Dumbo?
Nemo?
Simba?

Go for it. Bambi was a male deer but I'm sure it could be unisex. Maybe Bamba for a girl?

Theunamedcat · 06/06/2021 20:55

I mean you could but never go to America they would think you named your daughter after a hooker

piglet81 · 06/06/2021 20:54

It’s not good, sorry!

Betsy?
Bobbie (short for Roberta)?
Billie?

Stripper name, sorry.
Got there before me 😂

I like it but I'd never be brave enough.

TakeYourFinalPosition · 06/06/2021 20:54

It made me think of Secret Diary of a Call Girl... it’s quite a common “name” in that industry, I believe, because it makes you think of leggy, cute women.

It makes a cute nickname but I wouldn’t use it as the actual name.

Even the Disney film is quite sad...
