Is this a nice name for a girl or have my hormones kicked in?!

Bonnie??

Went to see Toy Story 3 with the kids yesterday and the gorgeous little girl in it was called Bonnie so it got me thinking.....

Other names on shortlist so far are Verity and Scarlett

Opinions please

I know a grown up Bonnie, and she's a lovely person (not particularly bonnie though I've no idea what she looked like as a baby!). I was interested to see that it's not a derivative of a longer name, but after the Scottish "bonnie" (from the French bon = good).

I love Bonnie. It's far nicer than Scarlett and Verity.

I know a Bonnie, it suits her very well (despite my initial thought on being told her name was 'Bonnie Langford') and it gets shortened to Bo which I like as well.

Good singer's name
Bonnie Raitt
Bonnie Tyler
Actually, even Bonnie Langford is a reasonable singer.

I watched an American film with a Bonnie in recently and til the credits rolled I'd have sworn they were calling her Barnie! Not a bad name but not great in some accents!

Will always remind me of Bonnie Langford though, but there's worse people to be reminded of

A bit of more positive feedback this morning I see!

Mentioned Bonnie to Dh this morning and he likes it.

He's also come up with Charlotte (nn Lottie) which I really like too so now our shortlist (or should it be 'getting longer list') is now:

Verity
Charlotte (Lottie)
Bonnie
Scarlett

Confused

Charlotte nicest of those.

Verity next.

Scarlett after that.

Bonnie last.

Was't "biggest tits in Huddersfield" called Lesley?

I like Charlotte too.
Like the rest of your list so not really much help!

Verity is gorgeous

Maisiethemorningsidecat · 06/08/2010 16:11

I'm always very nervous about giving children names that they may not live up to...

Kathleen123 · 06/08/2010 16:25

Verity is lovely.

Margeaux · 06/08/2010 16:38

I love Verity

CreepyFunbags · 06/08/2010 16:55

In order I like Bonnie, Verity, Charlotte, then Scarlett.
