I LOVE it, but it doesn't work in the UK. I also love Barbie but that doesn't work in UK either. So I guess my imaginary American twins are Bambi and Barbie.

And poor Bambi loses his mummy!

Saddest film ever.

It also makes me think of the very athletic girl villain in one of the Bond films.

Eh?!

No.

Terrible
If you have to I’d have it as a nickname - not sure what for though maybe Amber

”Stripper or prey” Grin
I think people should always steer clear of names that conjure a particular type. Stripper associations aside, Bambi conjures a leggy gangly, doe-eyed ingenue. Your daughter may grow up to be a stolid, tiny-eyed tax accountant working for a big city firm. I can virtually guarantee she’ll have changed her name by deed poll and excommunicated you by then.
She will also hopefully only spend about 20% of her life as a child and very young adult, so don’t choose cutesy names that work for a toddler, choose a name that works for all ages and pick a nickname/ short version for infancy.

How about Aladdin after all it is a whole new world we live in.

Dreamzcancometrue · 25/05/2019 22:14

Sounds like a stripper name to be honest.

Hairwizard · 25/05/2019 22:16

No. Just. No. Fuck no. Nope.

Casmama · 25/05/2019 22:21

Please put this mad idea down to pregnancy hormones and don't even consider it

FromDespairToHere · 25/05/2019 22:25

Definitely a stripper name.

Lilybeth91 · 25/05/2019 22:26

You can’t name a baby Bambi

Tana433 · 25/05/2019 22:32

Dont like it, sorry. My dd is threatening to call her 1st baby Simba whether its a boy or a girl. Thank god shes only 12 at the moment!

Joeybee · 25/05/2019 23:18

Too cutesy and not a name that could grow with a person. No-one is going to take a Bambi seriously as an adult.

heartyrebel · 25/05/2019 23:19

I joking called my bump this through my pregnancy to wind up my friends. They all said it was a stripper name.

Crunchymum · 25/05/2019 23:55

"The name Bambi"

It's not a name Confused

Dear, deer, deer....

You could only get away with it by naming a boy baby Bamber and keeping Bambi for a nn.

AuntieStella · 26/05/2019 07:02

The Disney Bambi is male

So Bamber with that as nn might work.

LazyLizzy · 26/05/2019 10:00

Granny Jeremy Bamber murdered his family, that's where the Bambi association comes from.

So Bamber nn Bambi would be even worse.
