Bunty?

[crunchymint]

What do you think of this for a girl?

Bunty has cankles and rosy cheeks and is a demon on the lacrosse field. Also has the most frightful pash on Fenella in the Upper Fifth.

If you want a name that is not seen in a negative way don't pick Bunty! It's a pretty horrible nickname and really wouldn't be a great first name. I'd expect to hear a name like Bunty on the Crown, not given to a newborn little girl.

Squoosh

Full name Buntington Cressida Worsley-Smyth.

Bunty was my Grandma's name! Shortened from Barbara. I love it, but I guess I am really biased 😀

Sorry, really don't like it. Makes me think of the comic I used to get as a kid [shows age]

Sorry, but it's asking for the obvious rhyme. Plus reminds me of this

Phyllida
Cressida
Clementine
Jemima
Beatrice
Aurelia

Horrible

Don't worry I have given up on that name.

Its a posh girl nickname. You simply cannot christen a child Bunty, its beyond cruel and you really wont achieve your aim. I know someone upper class with an aunt called Bunny. Her real name is Ruth. If you are concerned about people thinking a name chavvy chose something nice and traditional and spell it correctly! Zak as a name is fine, it just ought to be spelt Zach, short for Zachary. All the poshies I know would never dream of spelling creatively or christening someone with a nickname. Sorry to be blunt [blush}

Its fine. When I first heard of Zak I thought it was spelt that way and did not realise it was a shortened name.

The Bunty I knew (she'd be in her late 90s by now, but she died 15 years ago) it was short for Augusta.

Not sure that's much better though!

Love it

Bunty is an ace nickname. Why not choose a B name and call her Bunty at home - Beatrice, Blanche, Briony, Bathsheba.

Beatrice is a lovely name

I think Beatrice nn Bunty is excellent.

I love the name. My friend has dogs called Bunty and Binky.

Bunty? Bit cunty.

Bunty could work as a nickname but not an actual name unless you were naming a pet or something. To be honest, it reminds me of bunting not to mention the nursery rhyme Bye, Baby Bunting:

Bye, baby bunting,
Daddy's gone a-hunting,
To get a little rabbit skin
To wrap the baby bunting in.

Antonia it’s one thing saying you don’t like a potential baby name but it’s pretty bad form slagging off OPs son’s name, especially when she didn’t ask your opinion on it.
Bunty is a great nickname, good luck finding your perfect name OP.

If I met a baby in real life called Bunty, I would be very polite to your face and then go round the corner and piss myself laughing.
It has appalling connotations of fat schoolgirls in the forties playing hockey. Sorry.

you want a charlotte or an alice or an alexandra or a helena or elizabeth

not bunty-please not bunty

No..because of cunty.

I was probably too blunt but OP said that people were calling her DS's name Chavvy and thats why she wanted a posh one so as not to make the same mistake. I was simply clarifying why people may have said that. I didnt meant to offend. Sorry!
