Bonnie Jean

Looking for some honest opinions 🙈 will put my big girl pants on just in case lol

I still don't know gender but if baby is a girl we were thinking about naming her Bonnie. It's a name we've always spoke about and loved.
I have also been considering giving baby my grandmothers name (grandmother passed a few years ago), so middle name would be Jean

Not sure if it would be too similar to Billie Jean and she's get mocked for that song or not or if anyone else think they go together?

I’m Scottish and cringe at Bonnie being someone’s name.
I sung Bonnie wee Jeanie McColl too when I read it.
BJ. never occurred to me. No one ever knows other folks middle names, I wouldn’t worry about that.
However Bonnie means either your wean is gorgeous or fat. I don’t like it.

A lovely song, by Rod McKuen.

You're right, @FelicityPike - a "bonny baby" is one which is fat and squidgy.

God no. Not Bonnie

On the fence about Bonnie but REALLY love Jean as middle name. I do like the glow of the two together- how about Connie Jean?

There's a Chloe Jean in my son's primary school, which I think is lovely. I was a bit hmmm when I first heard it, but it has grown on me.

Where in Scotland are you from that it's common? I don't know anyone near me with the name

Not keen on Bonnie - sounds too cutesy for me, sorry (and yes, quite close to Billie Jean). I do like Jean though, very retro cool and lovely to name her after your Grandma.

I love Bonnie, it's such a happy name. I vote for adding another middle name before Jean.
