Bambi

[abbie9]

Opinions on the name Bambi for a girl?
We love it but would expect some negative opinions so just looking for thoughts

No. Just no.

Why would you do that?

If you want to name a dolly get a dolly. This is a living human being.

Fine for a nickname, horrible for an actual name.

Imagine a teenage goth who’s angry at the world and has to introduce herself as bambi and put up with the jokes. Or a mid 30s hard nosed business executive trying to be taken seriously in meetings. Don’t just think of the cute baby when choosing names.

Fuck no.

You do realise you're naming a baby and not a kitten?

Wasn't he a boy, for a start?!
Secondly, just no; why saddle the poor child with that abomination of a name......imagine when they finish being cute and cuddly and have to go for a job interview..,,,,
People will snigger, so why do it. Give her a proper name and then give her the nickname if you really have to.

The worst. Sorry.
You could use it as a family nickname if you love it but you must give the girl a real name.

My sons nickname is bambi, short version of bambino. I imagine he will hate it as he gets older!

Hell no

First thought we Belles escort friend in secret diary of a call girl.

You are naming a person, who will not always be wearing a velour sleepsuit or a hat with bear ears. Call her bambi as a nickname if you wish but please give her a name that goes past toddler age.

Haha

Are you serious that's just ridiculous - this is a joke right?

There's so many lovely names out there why would you do that to a child?

I however was in Hospital with a woman when I had my daughter who wanted to call hers Pocahontas (an avid Disney fan!) but her husband didn't like it so they went for cleopatra........................

Well there may be an Augustus arriving soon (other thread) so Bambi is fine.
What about Aladdin?

This is 100% not real nobody is that cruel 🤣

We had a bambi at school. She hated it, no one believed it was her real name, everyone took the mick. Please don't afflict that on your child.

Well I that it's really cute. But not as a full name, could you imagine being in your 40s called Bambi?!
A great nickname she can choose to carry on (or not carry on, if she dislikes it)

No!

swifey I often think people forget bambi was a boy so was thumper. I think the fact all bambi clothes are pink and for girls causes some confusion.

Think twice if you’re mother.

This is definitely not real. No one could think it was a good idea to name their daughter after a male, cartoon deer.

I wouldn't, but it's no different to Teddy.

Could you pick a similar name from another culture like Bamba (Swahili) or Bambia (Italian)? Still very unusual and with the definite possibility for Bambi as a nn. That said, I knew a Nicola known as Bambi so it doesn't have to be that close...!

It sounds like a porn star name to me sorry

I'll be surprised if you get positive opinions.
