Bonnie??

[xkatyx]

I have fallen in love with this name, but everyone else keep's turning there nose up at iy.

I know i shouldn't care but is it really that bad??

No? I like it.

The only Bonnie I know is Scottish and has very very red hair....!!!

Not really keen..but for that red head it works

This is my 3rd baby and so far no red heads, so no exspecting a red head.

I thought it sounded nice with my 2 kids names James,and Lilly.

Oh im running out of time

Bonnie's a lovely name.

It does go with your other DCs names too. I would just ignore the people who say negative stuff :)

James and Lily? You have to call it Albus!

I like it, cute :) is it short for something though?

I know a red-haired Bonnie. Always reminds me of a Blue Peter dog though sorry!

I think it's gorgeous. DH vetoed it for our second dd unfortunately.

My cat is called bonnie. Bonnie snitterton.

Bonnie means pretty north of the border as you probably know - names which require the bearer to live up to their name always make me slightly nervous

I think Bonnie is very nice.

People have their own reasons for turning up their noses so don't listen to them. I know if I discussed my name choices with others I would end up with no names on my list!

It is a lovely name that goes well with James and Lily.

I also don't think of red hair when I hear it.

I new a Bonnie she hated her name so much she legally changed it! Apparently at school people used to sing a song something about Bonnie and the sea/over the sea something like that. Your baby might love it though

I have known many Bonnies, but none was called Bonnie, they all were called Yvonne and used Bonnie as a nickname.

FWIW - I know 3 dogs called Bonnie.

LOVE it

I love it

Funny that you said that... my dog is named as Bonnie in her pedigree papers... the other one is Sonnie. Imaginative breeder? not!

It can be short for Bonita

= dog for me. its like word association. i saw your thread title "Bonnie" and just immediately went "dog".

But like everything what some people love other people will hate - you are not going to please everyone nor should you even be interested in doing so. So if you like it, go for it. Even if people hesitate when you first tell them the name, before you know it that will just be her name and they won´t think of anything else.

my parents definitely were dubious about his name but now (only 3 yrs later) deny all knowledge of ever even hinting at any negativity and say it is perfect for him.

It makes me think of Bonnie Langford, i.e. annoying stage school brat. Sorry! (But younger MNetters may not remember her so feel free to ignore .

I love it. Immediately I think of Scarlett O'Haras daughter in Gone with The wind. Unusual and a little daring too - but not stupid or ridiculous daring, if that makes sense.

Goes so well with James and Lily too.

Fabulous!! go for it!!

I love it, but I don't think I would want it on a birth cert. It sounds cute and a bit cool now. So your young child would have a great name. But I wouldn't want a cutesy but dated name at 55.

What about Belinda or Beatrice Nell, or Beatrice Niamh? There would be loads of things that would 'explain' the nn Bonnie.

do not like, sorry

it's an adjective
