Bunny.
After Kieran (babies father) apparently decided against Duchess or Duchess Kate.

I quite like it. Not sure I'd ever actually name a human baby Bunny on her birth certificate but it's a lovely nickname. I might name my next cat Bunny Smile. And thank fuck she's not called Duchess Kate. That's truly horrific!

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 15/09/2014 23:57

It's definitely much better than Duchess would have been.

I do agree that KP's boys seem to do better in the name stakes though - even Junior is better than Princess or Bunny. Harvey & Jett are actually nice names Smile.

Slightly disappointed to discover Bear Grylls is Edward. He always looked like a Rupert to me.

My aunt had a cat called Bunny.

I seem to recall my colleague saying the mail had a list of the names they "almost" used? Some of them were even worse than Disney....here we go-

"According to the mother-of-five, Lady, Disney, Precious, Bambi and Peggy were all in the running, before the couple settled on Bunny, OK! magazine stated."

Peggy and Bunny are definitely the best out of that lot. Bunny is a great posh nickname, but it seems like the type you have to grow into, iyswim.

Mackerel, that is hilarious Grin

CatWitch · 16/09/2014 03:01

I went to school with 2 Bambi's and a Fawn. Bunny doesn't seem that odd to me.

NadiaWadia · 16/09/2014 03:02

You would think she was naming puppies, kittens, (or of course bunnies). Harvey is the only one lucky enough to get a normal name.

Wishfulmakeupping · 16/09/2014 03:14

It reminds me if Trey's mum in satc but I don't think its that bad

Lweji · 16/09/2014 03:20

She already has five children?

Grokette · 16/09/2014 04:23

I have an Aunty Bunny. Although she's not an Aunty, rather an older female relation of some sort which I don't quite know. She's lovely though, and the name suits her. I quite like it, in an old-fashioned way.

"According to the mother-of-five, Lady, Disney, Precious, Bambi and Peggy were all in the running, before the couple settled on Bunny, OK! magazine stated."

Wow, Bunny definitely doesn't seem too awful when you see the other contenders. Peggy would have been best though.

OldF0ssil · 16/09/2014 11:15

she doesn't have five does she? harvey, the boy with PA, Princess Tiana - also PA's and now Bunnie!

that's four. Or am I missing out one.

OldF0ssil · 16/09/2014 11:19

just checked on wiki, she does have five!
harvey
junior & princess
Jett & Bunnie

Fullpleatherjacket · 16/09/2014 11:24

I read the OP as she'd named her after her father and immediately assumed she was referencing his extra curricular activities Grin

I wouldn't dare use it myself but I think it's quite cute. Especially when you look at the alternatives.

KoalaDownUnder · 16/09/2014 11:25

Seriously, though...would anyone here want to be called Bunny as an adult?

Anything's sweet when you're 4. Or 94. But in-between? As a middle-aged woman in the workplace, for example? Unless you're a Playboy Bunny who lives in the mansion, which sort of proves my point. Hmm

OldF0ssil · 16/09/2014 11:27

David Badiel named his daughter Dolly and there's no difference in my book between Dolly and Bunnie except that David Baddiel and Morwenna Banks should have more sense than Katie Price and Kieran Hayler

OldF0ssil · 16/09/2014 11:29

Just read on wiki that she was molested at six years old and when she did her first 'modelling' shoot at 13 unbeknownst to her the photographer was a convicted paedophile. Sad

losyloo · 16/09/2014 11:35

There is not much difference between Bunny and the other names which seem to be popular at the moment such as:

Dolly
Dottie
Nelly
Teddy

KoalaDownUnder · 16/09/2014 11:42

I guess those other names are all 'real' names in my mind, because they've been diminutives of established names for decades, i.e.:

Dolly - Dolores
Dottie - Dorothy
Nelly - Eleanor
Teddy - Theodora/Theodore/Edward

What the heck is Bunny short for? Rabbit?? Grin

(Not really trying to be argumentative, JMO and all that...)

TrixieLunamoon · 16/09/2014 12:52

Speaking of "stage names" for celeb kids. North West. That is so not her real name

Yeah I remember when she was born it was reported as Cadence after some relative or other, then suddenly it changed to North. I would be surprised too if it actually says North West on her birth certificate.

LouiseBourgeois · 16/09/2014 12:58

I know an extremely posh sixtysomething Biffy. I think it was her own childhood attempt at Elizabeth.

donnie · 16/09/2014 13:01

I thought KP had binned him off, the husband. after shagging her friend....are they back on?

Does anyone remember that v short lived soap opera 'El Dorado' in the early 90s? About Brits living in 'Marbs' (vom emoticon) there was a couple on it called Bunny and Fizz. They were awful trailer trash though. Grin

losyloo · 16/09/2014 13:13

Koala, you are right. Bunny is short for nothing.

Regarding North West, I do not believe thats her real name either. Although the name NORTH has grown on me for a boy. To put it with west is cringe.

Her name was reported as Cadence Donda West.

curiousgeorgie · 16/09/2014 13:15

Without a K??!! Wink

Lweji · 16/09/2014 13:21

Apparently Bunny can be a nickname for Barbara or Bernice
