What do you think of Bambi for a girls name?

As a nickname yes but not proper name!

CandyLeBonBon · 06/06/2021 20:52

😂

No, it's too infantizing imo as a given name (young girl = Disney baby deer). I've heard it occasionally used as a nickname though (I'm guessing for women with big eyes and willowy/slender limbs).

No.

ProudPolyGradSingleMum · 06/06/2021 20:53

It’s a boys name in the film

CandyLeBonBon · 06/06/2021 20:53

Bambi was a boy and his mum died.

LesLavandes · 06/06/2021 20:53

Just no

Aquamarine1029 · 06/06/2021 20:53

Stripper name, sorry.

BettyOBarley · 06/06/2021 20:53

No, sorry op. I think that would be everyone's immediate thought would be the Deer.

It made me think of Secret Diary of a Call Girl... it’s quite a common “name” in that industry, I believe, because it makes you think of leggy, cute women.

It makes a cute nickname but I wouldn’t use it as the actual name.

Even the Disney film is quite sad...

I like it but I'd never be brave enough.

@Aquamarine1029

Stripper name, sorry.
Got there before me 😂
Chilldonaldchill · 06/06/2021 20:54

Sorry I always try and be kind On here but that's horrific.

piglet81 · 06/06/2021 20:54

It’s not good, sorry!

Betsy?
Bobbie (short for Roberta)?
Billie?

Theunamedcat · 06/06/2021 20:55

I mean you could but never go to America they would think you named your daughter after a hooker

KirstenBlest · 06/06/2021 21:00

Go for it. Bambi was a male deer but I'm sure it could be unisex. Maybe Bamba for a girl?

diddlediddle · 06/06/2021 21:02

🤣 good one OP

Dumbo?
Nemo?
Simba?

PiccalilliChilli · 06/06/2021 21:03

😂🤣.

It must be the pregnancy hormones.

shuz1980 · 06/06/2021 21:06

Bambi is an Italian girls name that means baby girl. Thanks for all the feedback though.

Would you really want to give a child a name with that meaning? She's going to grow up into an adult.

oopsydaisyyy · 06/06/2021 21:09

no x
what about Nala x

Veryverycalmnow · 06/06/2021 21:10

I thought you were joking.

DrHWeasley · 06/06/2021 21:10
