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??

I agree with Valium about using a longer name on the birth certificate (obviously one you like). There are a lot of cute little girls names around ATM, and I do wonder how welcome they'll be to a teenager or an adult.

Maelstrom, your dog breeder wasn't a budding writer like the woman at the kennels where my mum bought a Labrador, called "Ayelsbury Dawn Chorus". There was a litter of 7 and they all had fabulous themed names! the litter after that had latin names and the ones I remember were Accipe Hoc (take that) very funny, and Carpe Liam (The owner was called William)

Sorry, but I agree with spidookly

It's an adjective meaning fine, pretty, attractive...... makes it a hard name to live up to imho!

I have always had a soft spot for Bonnie. I think it's lovely and you should go for it

I dont like it (Way to close to my own name that I dont like either) but you answered your dilemma in your op " you have fallen in love with it" so what else matters? my ds is called Conrad we gets loads of face pulling and n a few its horrible but i LOVE it.. and it so suits him.. dh feels the same way.. that is all that matters.. not what others think

I knew a dog called Bonnie.

I think of the unfortunate child in Gone With the Wind too.

There's one in Pulp Fiction too.

Connie I like (short for Constance) but Bonnie I think is a bit twee.
Definitely think of the Blue Peter dog and then Bonnie Tyler.
I think it is very different to James and Lily and doesn't sit right with those sibling names IMHO. Sorry.

Nice for a dog, sorry.

I adore the name Bronwyn - could Bonnie be a nn for this?

I like the name Bronwen with Bonnie as nn.

Dont like it for first name.

I like it but wouldn't be brave enough to use it IYKWIM.

Are your other DCs 'bonnie'?

It's be awkward if she didn't live up to the name.

I know a Bonnie, she is about 13 I think.

She is tall and very pretty with long blonde hair - it suits her.

Not keen on it. I am Scottish and as others have mentioned, it means "pretty" north of the border.

I would go with something typically English, similar to your other DS.

Lily, James and Charlotte.

Anabelle

Catherine

Dog's name imo

my sister is called bonnie. she is 34 and it suits her very well.

and it's not a dogs name, it's a human name people give to their dogs.

I wouldn't no but then I'm scottish I'd be worried aout her turning out to be umm not so bonnie.

I like it. I went to college with a Bonnie. She was hilarious, so it has good connotations for me :)

I really like it, but do know two dogs called Bonnie.

I know a little baby Bonnie that is so cute so it made me like the name more, I dont think i liked it that much previously but now I can see it working. Also have come across a couple of adult bonnies before like in their 20s and it seemed to work ok for them

Well Valium, one of her names was Bonnie, but at hearing the next 4 you would think she belonged to royalty.

If I ever become a breeder I would name the puppies with a combination of numbers and letters rather than all that ridiculous combination of names.

I love it - is it not short for Veronica?

Thank you all for your comments, it wasn't going to be short for anything, i just like the name bonnie.

I like it.

I LOVE the name Bonnie, and it will be on my shortlist for girls. I do however think it sounds like a nickname so I would probably opt for Ebony and shorten it.
I know you say you wouldn't shorten it and I understand looking for approval from others, if you love a name so much its rather disheartening when others frown when you say it. Shouldn't matter but somehow it does.

Anyway, I think its a gorgeous name. Good luck!
