Bonnie

[d1157230986361b000875]

I really like this name.
What are your opinions and have you ever met a Bonnie?

Yes, one adult human and about 20 dogs- very popular puppy name around here!

Never met one. I think it's rather nice.

Like it but feel child has a lot to live up to - what if they're not bonny, they could end up being a laughing stock. I know one though and she's gorgeous.

I like it a lot
as long as there's not a sibling name Clyde

Siblings are Charlie and Tilly - )I seem to like 'ee' ending names
Do you think people will always have the Bonnie and Clyde connection?

I agree if she's ugly it's a shame, but if she's like Tills then that's fine ;)

Bonnie or bonny is a nice way of saying a bit fat or chubby where I am from.

Bonnie is a really nice name but feels as if it should be short for something... The only name I can think of right now is Bonita which isn't great imo.
Do you like Connie short for Constance?

I am not a fan of Bonita, I don't mind too much that Bonnie is almost nickname sounding becasue Tilly is.
I like Connie, only thing that puts me off is my sisters step son is Connor (nn Con) feel it may be too similar, but I do like it and OH does as well :)
I also like that Connie would share the same initials as Charlie and dad Chris :) Not sure which I prefer though!

I knew a Bonnie. Her mother was utterly weird.

I knew a Connie. She was our Labrador when i was a kid.

I had a beautiful Labrador while I was growing up, she was named Bonnie. There are lots of Labradors named Bonnie,I'm not entirely sure why I can't think of the name in any other context now.

Tilly was named after OH dog; Poor child I know, but I just loved the name :) I am not worried about Bonnie or Connie being associated with dogs :)
I have met 2 Connie's, one is 29 and the other is 2 (at the preschool where I work). I slightly prefer Bonnie I think.
Thank you for your comments :)

I love Bonnie. It reminds me of Bonnie Blue Butler, Scarlett and Rhett's daughter in Gone With The Wind.

I love the name bonnie........want another DD now!!!!

I have a 4 year old Bonnie. Name seems to suit her! Everyone seems to compliment her name (to my face anyway), and I don't know of any other Bonnie's.

Nickname we use is Boo.

Have no regrets about her name - love it.

The only 'Bonnie's I know are dogs. Not a good choice for a child IMO.

I knew a Labrador Bonnie in the 80's. I think it's a very sweet girls name and goes well with Tilly.

A bit silly.

I know I Bonnie, she's lovely BUT my dog is also called Bonnie as are at least 3 others in my street

What about Isobel nn Izzy?

Love it, it was on our list, I know two adult bunnies, and a teen bonnie. Also know a toddler called Connie.

If we ever have another it will be on our name list again, we went with Merryn instead but still love bonnie.

Nice taste, 5mad - I love Merryn and Bonnie! What are your others called?

I know a little girl bonnie, it's a lovely name.

Reminds me of gone with Thr wind thought rather then bonnie and Clyde but that didn't end well either.

I have an adult friend Bonnie. She's not particularly attractive looking and I've never really given it a second thought. I also know a Constance (through work and she was never a Connie there) and she did live up to her name, in fact she was quite formidable.

I'd not choose Connie with a Con in the family and two 'C' initials already. The only other 'onnie' I can think of is Ronnie from Veronica.

I like it. Never known one.

nooka- I agree that connie and connor and too similar sounding and i don't like the nn con either (sisters partner might get funny as well). I know boy Ronnie's and not keen on Veronica.

I think the thread has received fairly good compliments, and I am not worried about the dog references (i've heard my name and Tilly's names for dogs!).
5madthings- Merryn is a lovely name :)
backscratcher- it's nice to hear someone who has a daughter Bonnie
