Bambi for a girl?

[shuz1980]

What do you think of Bambi for a girls name?

I wouldn’t, I’d feel so embarrassed having what (in the UK) is a very porn/childish name particularly if she grows up to have a v professional job

I hope this is a joke.

NO!

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

Things don't always cross languages and cultures well. For instance, Fanny is quite a popular name in France, but God Help the child in Britain saddled with the name.

No

I like it.

Even as a shortening of bambina, you'd effectively be naming your dd 'Baby' or 'Girl'. Cute nickname for an under-five, ridiculous on an adult, sorry.

It's Bambino not Bambi.

There is a Bambi in one of the James Bond films. She strangles people with her thighs. Which is impressive in its own way.

Not a great name for your baby, OP.

Oh Christ no - that really Is a porn actress name.

In Italy it’s just short for bambino - which means child not baby girl - and I’ve never heard anyone being called that - it would be weird.

Anyway NO

Do Italians actually use bambi as a short form of bambino/bambina?

I know that bimbo and bimba are used but I wouldn't recommend either of those!

Why not use an actual Italian name if you want something Italian, OP?

Nobody puts Bambi in the corner.

Terrible

I prefer Thumper, personally.

Some of the names I read on mumsnet have me baffled. Bambi? Really?

Oh my god are you insane? Is awful.

With that name, they’re either a stripper/porn actress or someone born into such ridiculous wealth and privilege that they don’t ever have to worry about being taken seriously.

I've not heard bambino/a shortened to bambi before.

@Rubbishatchoosingusernames You beat me to it!

If I get another chihuahua I'd consider it but not for a baby

What about Thumper?

Oh dear Lord no!

So baby is the word for a baby in the English speaking word...so just call her Baby if that's your thought process.

Would you call her Baby or Babs as a diminutive? If not then Bambi (short for bambino) also doesn't make sense.

Great as a nickname. Terrible as a name for this and all the other reasons mentioned.

You did ask.

Just no ....

Stripper name only.
It’s right up there with Lola
