I've stumbled accross Bonita. I'm half Spanish so it fits well but I'm wondering why it seems so underused, anything I'm missing?

Nn Bonnie is cute and I love the meaning

I like it. With the right surname though...
I also like Violeta / Arianne / Catalina / Graciana. In fact there are some beautiful Spanish names out there.

I think La Isla Bonita and then I think Bonita Bananas.

I think it's lovely.

hobbjobb · 04/11/2013 11:02

Hmmm surname is my big problem. It's 2 syllables ending in an -ee sound
Nothing sounds great with it but I think Bonita sounds ok...

Graciana is also beautiful, not sure I'll get that past DP though

I know of a newborn with that name, nickname Bonnie. A friend (approx 24) also has it as her middle name

Conchita ?

mrssmith79 · 04/11/2013 11:09

Can't see why it wouldn't work in that case (fwiw, i'm now imagining you're DP is David Gandy 'cos it's the only two syllable surname ending in ee I can think of).

I have a friend called Bonita and its a lovely name. Exotic sounding but pronounceable

Bone(r) Eater once she's at secondary school Hmm

Bonita Applebum! Look up the Tribe Called Quest song with the Carly Simon sample in it.
You'll have people singing Bonita, nita, nita at her all the time.

It's gone on the list, DP had better like this one!!
