It’s quite an ugly sound. But, yes, everyone would either think of the cartoon or a spangly stripper from 1982

Good name for a fawn.

EdWinchester · 25/05/2019 18:40

One of Pan's People? Monstrous.

Dear, deer, deer....

Rainbowshine · 25/05/2019 18:40

It makes me think of a playboy bunny or similar.

WoollyMummoth · 25/05/2019 18:41

Really?!! 🙄

Monstermissy36 · 25/05/2019 18:42

Reminds me of the call girl in the secret diary of a call girl programme with billy piper!

Passthecherrycoke · 25/05/2019 18:42

No because i can only imagine a girl named bambi would be really pathetic and not good at anything. Also your phone autocorrects it to bamboo

forkfun · 25/05/2019 18:42

Don't do it.

MadameJosephine · 25/05/2019 18:43

My XH is American and has a cousin named Bambi. Thankfully I’ve never met her because I’ve been able to say her name without giggling. It’s a ridiculous name for a grown woman

GeorgeTheFirst · 25/05/2019 18:43

How about Balonz?

BlueMerchant · 25/05/2019 18:43

I'd never be brave enough but I do like it in a way.

HoHoHolyCow · 25/05/2019 18:46

I know a 5 yr old Faline - named after Bambi's cousin/sister.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 25/05/2019 18:48

I like it, but Then I like sweet and twee names. I think almost any name is acceptable now, isn't it

LazyLizzy · 25/05/2019 18:48

Reminds me of the Bambi murders.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 25/05/2019 18:49

I thought Faline was Bambi's girlfriend

EmpressLesbianInChair · 25/05/2019 18:50

Maybe in the US, but really not fair in the UK. Nickname if you must?

Sweet & twee only works for toddlers.

recklessgran · 25/05/2019 18:55

Dear God - poor child will never be taken seriously.

Janleverton · 25/05/2019 18:56

Stripper.

Whatdoyouknowwhenyouknownowt · 25/05/2019 18:58

Yeah, stripper or prey...

HoHoHolyCow · 25/05/2019 19:01

Possibly Bambi's girlfriend! I haven't read the book or seen the film so am relaying on a vague conversation with the child's dad ages ago.

HoHoHolyCow · 25/05/2019 19:01

Relying not relaying 🙄

Summerorjustmaybe · 25/05/2019 19:02

Dumbo is nice...

Dirtyjellycat · 25/05/2019 19:02

It’s a porn or stripper name. Please don’t!

TheBabyAteMyBrain · 25/05/2019 19:04

Just think of an adult standing up in a meeting introducing themselves as Bambi. They wouldn't be taken seriously at all.
