Bunty

Have popped across from another board and name changed (as I think this may be an unusual one) to ask for the verdict on Bunty.

I want to use this as a full stand alone name, not short for anything.
I knew a genteel elderly lady named Bunty when I was a girl, so this has been a positive influence.

PMSL, this is a windup guys. Surely. Please?

It's not a name is it??? Surely not???

It sounds quite Jolly Hockey Sticks to me. Or a euphemism for front bottom.

But that's probably just me

Don't like it. Do you remember the comic Bunty?

fluffyfudge · 29/11/2009 13:29

I like it.

Don't be silly

As soon as I saw the title, I also thought Cunty Bunty.

A little light ribbing at school can be character-building, but that's heading into years of therapy territory.

Possibly the worst name I have ever seen suggested here.

Children can be cruel and may replace the 'B' with a 'C'.

No from me sorry.

I've got a great auntie Bunty - I think it's a brilliant name

I used to take the girls' mag.

makes me think of rabbits for some reason.

Wasn't this the name of Tray's mum in Sex and the City? You know, the bloke that married Charlotte and couldn't perform??

IIRC, she was a battle axe! I like the name though.
