Bunty?

[crunchymint]

What do you think of this for a girl?

Nope 👎

They'll call her 'Cunty Bunty' at school...

Makes me think of a stout, posh, middle aged lady with five labradors.

Bunty is the nickname of a character in Father Brown. Her real name's Penelope.

Bunty is Catherine Tate's baton twirler. Not posh but it would put me off

Bunty living makes my blood boil!

I think the names quite cute though, unfortunately it is too close to Cunty.

Cute as a nickname for a toddler. Otherwise, no! (Although I used to get a terrific comic called Bunty!)

OH MY GOD NO

I hadn't thought of CuntyBunty.

I can only think of Mr Elf's boats that get eaten by Big Bad Barry...

My niece is known as Bunty, her proper name is Beatrice. She's 6 and seems to carry it off at present, don't know how it will be when she is older!

Beatrice is a lovely name

Ha, I remember the comic but have never met a real life Bunty.

IMO it's not great as a real name, and it's kind of ok as a nn, and I guess I it's better than Taylor, Shervorne and anything ending in Mae.

I do like it for a Labrador and if I heard you in the park calling 'Bunty! BUN-TEEEE!', I would expect a four pawed Bunty to come running, not a two legged one.

Hi OP
Bunty comes from little lamb that butts his head I think.
Really unfortunate it rhymes with the c word as its going to stick in your mind once you hear it.
There's lots of alternative names though😊🌻

I read somewhere that it means something like "healthy-looking, good-looking in a chubby way". Apparently it's the southern version of the Northern/Scottish "Bonnie

No idea about Bunty (apart from the fact I wouldn't inflict it on a child) but I'm in Yorkshire and bonnie just means 'pretty' here. Nothing to do with chubbiness at all.

I absolutely promise you that any posh girl who is known as Bunty has a proper name.

It's horrible, sorry. Not elegant or pretty or cute.

"Mutiny !!! Mutiny on the bunty..... "
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Bunty just makes me think of the comic for girls - I used to get the annual every Christmas from my great aunt in the 80s.

To me it's upper crust, old-fashioned and just a bit cringe - sorry.

Please, no.

Are you serious? A "Bunty" round here is a word used to describe a totally frumpy unattractive woman. I have only known one person generally answering to the name and she was a downtrodden elderly farmer's wife. Please do not saddle a baby with this "name"

Well, things mean different things in different places, clearly, as where I come from in the UK Bunty (of which there are 3 in my family) means pretty!! To say ‘what a Bunty Baby’ means what a pretty baby you have, and certainly is the polar opposite to an insult.

One of my Buntys is the youngest sister in a brood and indeed she is the only who has it as a middle name, but had always been known as Bunty as when she was born her father saw her and said ‘she’s the buntiest baby I’ve ever laid eyes on’. She was given Bunty as her middle name but has never ever been called by her first name and I was surprised to know she even had another name.

Okay, I was looking for a posher name

From John o groates to lands end
Bunty is a girls best friend

Catchphrase from the bunty annuals which I loved.

Never liked the name though.

Araminta is posh, lends itself to the nickname Minty.
