The name Bindi is a girl's namemeaning"butterfly". Bindi and is often added to lists like Australian Baby Names: Aussie Favorites. From the experts: In the Noongar language of Western Australia, Bindi means butterfly.

What do you all think? Would it be useable or one of those guilty pleasure names that remains unused? I think it has a nice sound to it. Will look forward to hearing your opinions positive and/or negative.

Sorry. It reminds me of Rolf Harris and his DD Bindi.

Just no.

Sounds like a character in a porn film or a chick lit book

I really dislike it. Bindi and Mindi actually, urgh.

Never heard before and I straight away thought about the red dots used on foreheads in indian culture.

I believe the aboriginal people of Australia have many languages so bindi might well have inferno meanings. The I heard re Rolf Harris’s daughter was that it meant a coloured stone or pebble.

Bindi Irwin is who I think of!
I think it’s lovely and Bindi Irwin always comes across so lovely too so no need to worry on that score.
It’s unique and some people won’t ‘get it’ but I think that’s part of the charm!

I quite like Bindi. Yes it’s a bit ‘cute’ but so many names are nowadays her peers will more than likely have ‘cute’ names too.

Bindi is something sharp and spiky that hurts your feet when you walk on the grass in Australia! And also Steve Irwins daughter...but mainly the things that hurt your feet!
