Bonnie, Dulcie or neither?

[loubuch09]

Hi
Please help im looking for opinions/ suggestions on names please.
I dont want anything too popular!
I like
Bonnie, Dulcie, Ava (too popular?, Molly, Eliza, Elsie, Rita,Betsy and Florence.
Surname is Buchanan, what are opinions on alliteration names? is bonnie/ betsy Buchanan too over the top?
Thanks,
Lou

From your list, I like Ava best with your surname.

How about Elise or Helene

Rita or Florence from your list or Clara or Louisa from me.
Bonnie is horrid and so is Dulcie,

I like both but don't think bonnie works very well for an adult especially with your surname.

I love Betsy and Dulcie from your list.

Dulcie sounds like what a Hollywood wife would call her poodle.

I think you need to play a little bit safe with such a long surname.

I like Florence.

How about Romany?

I think Dulcie is nice and works well with your surname.

Florence, Ava and Eliza my other faves :)

Betsy Buchanan

Love it! She will certainly not live a pedestrian life with a name like that.

Betsy Buchanan....love it, what an ace name....

Also adore Molly from your list

I love them both! I prefer Dulcie though

I like Bonnie as nn for Bronwen, not as a stand alone. Dulcie has a lovely meaning, but I always hear "dull" unfortunately.

You must have time-travelled out of The Great Gatsby with those names and surname - they sound marvellous. So a good thing you haven't included Daisy in the suggestions.

I'd go with Betsy, Molly or Elsie.

They're nice names. I'd guess Rita is the most unusual if that's important to you. I like Bonnie best I think with your surname.

Bonnie - Beautiful
Dulcie - too 'now' and not good for serious careers
Ava - lovely, popular but lovely
Molly - dislike - I know too many dogs named Molly
Eliza - Beautiful
Elsie - scullery maid name
Rita - Beautiful
Betsy - lovely
Florence - stodgy Victorian

My favourites are
Bonnie
Eliza
Rita

with Betsy and Ava a close second.

I think I like Rita and Bonnie the best. Both gorgeous imo.

Betsy, Florence, Molly and Eliza all nice. Not keen on the rest.

Dulcie, Elsie, Eliza and Florence are all gorgeous!

I apologise in advance for saying this, but Betsy Buchanan is AWESOME.

It sounds like a name from a superhero comic. In a good way.

Bonnie - more of a nn?
Dulcie - lovely
Ava - dull
Molly - ok
Eliza - lovely
Elsie - dull
Rita - no
Betsy - lovely as nn (Elizabeth)
Florence - lovely: good with your surname

I love Dulcie after reading a Barbara Pym novel recently but I can't actually picture calling a child that somehow. Rita is awful, sort of dowdy sounding. I like Bonnie in a friendly, happy little girl sort of way.

Rita

I like Bonnie, I also like:

Bo
Ethne
Romile
Estelle

I have a Romilly which is not very common.

Neither, unless you're looking to name a golden retriever

I have to admit, when I first saw Dulcie, I thought 'nah...'

But Dulcie Buchanan is really cute. And the more I think about it the more it has grown on me.

I must disagree wholeheartedly with mathanxiety - I work for an Investment Bank and I can sooooo imagine a top trader being called that. It's easy to remember and stands out just enough.

From the rest of your list I quite like Elsie and Florence, although I'm wondering if they sound a bit 'elderly' with Buchanan?

They are all nice names however. :)

I really like Bonnie, Betsy and Eliza. I like alliteration in mames, personally. Betsy Buchanan is a very cool name

Florence/Elsie/Molly don't really rock my world.

Rita and Duclie are hideous.

Bonnie. Definitely Bonnie.

Of course, i'm due in 2 weeks time and that's the name we're intending to call our baby, so i'm slightly biased... :)

with your surname Betsy definitely.

Also love Eliza. Not wild about any of the others.
