What do you think of the names Bonnie or Connie as a girls name ? Her siblings are called Zara, Alfie, Jack, Ava, George and Katie ?

Advice please lovelies :)

Seems that on here people are obsessed with siblings names matching and if you agree they need to, they don't. But both are pretty names. I'd choose Connie.

They are both nicknames rather than full names, though, aren't they? The other siblings' names are full names.

Bigfamily10 · 27/01/2018 17:17

Not too concerned about them matching but it was more for reference to reflect the type of names we usually go for :)

I like Connie best.

I like Connie but I LOVE Constance.

Also, SEVEN KIDS? Shock

Oh god I thought it was for twins. In which case it’d be a resounding no from me.

I think I’d like Bonnie more, although I’d want it to be a diminutive and not the actual name. I forget what it’s short for...

Petalflowers · 27/01/2018 17:25

I thought it was for twins also, and thought No!

Alfie, Jack and Katie are nicknames now often used as full names, just like Connie. Bonnie is a full name in its own right. I'm not that keen on Connie and I know a lovely woman called Bonnie, so that would be my preference, I suppose, although I'd worry that my daughter might find it difficult later on if she found it difficult to live up to her name - as in making her a bit more sensitive to her appearance. I could imagine that a woman who thought she was perhaps a bit plain could struggle with being called Bonnie.

This is a bit of a random suggestion but what about Iris? I think that's a gorgeous name, and a beautiful flower. Seems to me to go with the other names pretty well.

I know a Connie and a Bonnie (different families!), both under 7. I like both names, but Connie is probably my favourite, but only just.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 27/01/2018 18:07

Connie

lizzlebizzle33 · 27/01/2018 18:12

Love Bonnie ❤️

FuckyDucky · 27/01/2018 18:14

Connie is lovely.
Much nicer than Bonnie.

AnyaMoondial · 27/01/2018 19:32

Bonnie is fabulous, Connie sounds a bit like a nn of another name to me, although it's also nice.

RapunzelLetDownYourHair7 · 27/01/2018 21:47

I love both but I would go with Bonnie

annandale · 27/01/2018 21:51

Bonnie. I love Constance but not so keen on Connie.

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 27/01/2018 21:55

Connie is lovely. Calling a child Bonnie is a lot to live up to in my opinion. Smile

JenTeale · 27/01/2018 22:05

Bonnie; it's an ace name, assertive sounding but also cute, goes well with your sibset.

SuperBeagle · 28/01/2018 08:55

Bonnie is a great name.

howthelightgetsin · 28/01/2018 09:39

The other siblings' names are full names.
Alfie, Jack and Katie?

howthelightgetsin · 28/01/2018 09:40

I think I prefer Bonnie by the way OP if both are quite “happy” names (if that makes sense)

howthelightgetsin · 28/01/2018 09:40

*but both
