Definitely different taste here - the only one that I like is Thea. I always try and imagine whether the name would be ok on an older person too. Jude & Juno to me are boys’ names.

OsirisservesAnubis · 18/07/2023 22:16

Juno, Thea or Marnie.

Jude is a boy's name unless shortening Judith day to day.

I had a dog called Bonnie, her farts were horrendous, you'd often have to leave the room.

drunkpeacock · 18/07/2023 22:03

I like Maya and Juno from that list.

Hollyppp · 18/07/2023 22:00

I like Bonnie!!

jude is a boys name

Marshatessa · 18/07/2023 21:47

Thea! Jude more boys name at min

FrostieBoabby · 18/07/2023 21:42

Sorry, not really keen on any of them, nothing wrong with them though but I'm maybe a few years older than you and more old fashioned! Jude would be my favourite but I would worry about "Hey Jude" piss taking at school.

Not keen on Bonnie even though it is a lovely Scottish name as it makes me think of Bonnie Langford, what about Connie instead?

I love Thea. I’ve got 2 boys but if I were to ever have a daughter I’d have Thea

I really like Maya, Thea and Marnie, the others are a bit faddy or cutesy to me.

Agree with this.

Fivebeanchilli · 18/07/2023 21:37

Thea - gorgeous. Seems to be becoming quite popular but it's lovely.
Coco - sorry but I can't bear this. Seems so juvenile
Bonnie - not keen.
Bibi - don't like at all
Alma - don't like at all
Jude - like as a nn for Judith but not a stand alone name
Maya - lovely
Juno - lovely
Marnie - not keen

Thea, Maya and Juno are lovely. I see them as classy whereas the others... not so much.

ymemanresu · 18/07/2023 21:29

Thea and Marnie

Confusion101 · 18/07/2023 21:18

I absolutely adore Bonnie!!!! Love it!

Like Thea, Bibi, Marnie, Alma

Not a fan of Jude (only know male Judes), Maya (Maya Jama), Juno (reminds me of the film),

Least fave is Coco.

NK572a3d19X11e7ef5ddf9 · 18/07/2023 21:12

Thea definitely

Yellowlegobrick · 18/07/2023 21:04

Weird how so many people are slagging off Coco, surely it's Coco as in Chanel

No people are saying its a nickname. Her name was Gabrielle Chanel, Coco was her nickname as a cabaret singer.

RoseRows · 18/07/2023 21:01

I don’t really like any of them but Marnie at a push

Carouselfish · 18/07/2023 21:01

Bonnie and Coco, like a lot of other posters!

Yellowlegobrick · 18/07/2023 20:59

None of these are really up my straight, I'd considered most nicknames rather than what I'd list on a birth certificate. Alma, Marnie and Bonnie just make me think of 70s Americans.

Workawayxx · 18/07/2023 20:58

Thea - lovely
Coco - not keen
Bonnie - it’s ok
Bibi - not keen
Alma - like this
Jude - prefer for a boy
Maya - like it but you might get a lot of “is it may-ah or m-eye-ah?”
Juno - lovely
Marnie - lovely

Bboo8 · 18/07/2023 20:48

I’m a Bonnie and I love my name!
I’ve always had compliments throughout my life on what a lovely name I have 🥰

FoodFann · 18/07/2023 20:20

Thea is nice. The rest are very much not to
my taste, especially Bibi

Kd96 · 18/07/2023 20:09

Thea!

MamaBear4ever · 18/07/2023 20:07

Love Bonnie. Coco was our cats name so that's a no from me

Sandysandwich · 18/07/2023 19:56

I like Juno and Marnie the most

shoopshoopdedoo · 18/07/2023 19:54

I like Alma, Bonnie and Marnie.

I’d hate to be called Coco or Bibi, although I think they are cute nicknames for a little girl.
