Bonnie

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

[MuddyWellyNelly]

I wouldn't use it as I'm in Scotland and Bonnie is used everywhere to mean pretty/beautiful, as has been mentioned. It's a film and a slogan "bonnie Scotland", and in songs "the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond". Particularly if you are from the north east, things are known as "affa bonnie". So if you and your children are likely to spend much time up here I'd say no, but otherwise it's fine.

I think Bonnie Hunt (actress) before say Bonnie and Clyde or GWTW.

Bonnie Blue Butler had a 'proper' name too. Eugenia Victoria or such like.

I don't think it's great, and I immediately scanned for mention of dogs and was not disappointed. I only know canines called Bonnie too.

My other four are all boy, Theodore (theo), Oscar reopen, Dylan lucas and rudi arlo. We really struggled with girls names, bur love Merryn and so far haven't net another.

[Athenaviolet]

Lovely name.

I'm not brave enough to use it though!

MuddyWellyNelly- I live in the South West so no connection to the name Bonnie down here.
5MadThings- I have never heard of Merryn before, it sounds like a very happy name to me.

Used as a euphemism for 'plump' where I'm from. Eg 'what a bonny child!'

[SkodaLabia]

There was a Blue Peter dog called Bonnie, maybe that's what has embedded it into dog owners' psyche!

I'm not mad keen on it, to me it feels a bit precious, but that might the Langford connection.

[MitzyLeFrouf]

Yes it makes me think of the Blue Peter dog. I think she was the one who came after Goldie.

It's an okay name but seems a bit nothingy.

Meryn is a lovely name.

But Bonnie is a bit bland. How about Blythe?
