Baby girl name Bonnie?

This is baby number three and our last baby. I really like the name but I am concerned about the formality of it.

Does anybody know of any full names that Bonnie could be a NN for?

I know a Siobhan who is known as Bonnie.

Bronwyn or Bonita?

TheCoralEagle · 03/08/2025 21:21

Say Bonnie, hear Blue 🤢

It's not a name I'd use now, I'd steer well clear.

If you want Bonnie, then have Bonnie - it is lovely.

I have a Jennie.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 03/08/2025 21:22

Loved it until the Bonnie Blue thing

TartanMammy · 03/08/2025 21:22

I'm sorry but...Bonnie Blue.

PennywisePoundFoolish · 03/08/2025 21:22

I know a Bonita who goes by Bonnie, but one of her parents is Spanish

Ironpillow · 03/08/2025 21:23

A predatory porn actress, recently famous for shagging 1000 men in a day and for her 'barely legal' USP. Totally vile and very well known.

I'd say Google it, but you might regret it.
She's a porn actress, notorious for having sex with over 1000 guys in a day

I’ve known loads of dogs and ponies called Bonnie and the only human I know of called it is a horrible.

Moreteaandchocolate · 03/08/2025 21:40

I find Bonnie way too twee for my taste and then there’s the Bonnie Blue thing. Connie?

rohners · 03/08/2025 21:55

Bonnie blue has ruined this name sorry

Calliopespa · 03/08/2025 22:45

It's one of those names that seems to me more like a nn than a proper name.

I can see the appeal; its quite cute for a little girl, but I don't think it really carries her into womanhood very well.

Also I've known two IRL and both were absolute brats who needed to be centre of attention and were nasty to other children, so on balance it's a no from me.

mismomary · 03/08/2025 22:53

Sadly a pretty name ruined

Greeneyegirl · 03/08/2025 22:56

Bonnie is fine and it's very popular at the moment (in the top 50) I know a few under 3

OneNeatBlueOrca · 03/08/2025 22:57

I know a baby bonnie. she is just bonnie it is not a nickname.

If you like the name, just call her that.

mum2jakie · 03/08/2025 23:00

Top 50 last year (stats recently released by ONS.) I suspect it will plummet like a stone this year due to the Bonnie Blue association. Who would want their baby's name connected to basically a porn 'star'?

Mumofgirls2017 · 03/08/2025 23:10

Beatrice Nora
Beatrix Nellie
Ebony
Bella Novie
Betsy Nina

This! A beautiful name now synonymous with a porn star 😢

DustlandFairytaleBeginning · 03/08/2025 23:14

I know a Bonnie (she's 7|)- I love the name personally. Hers isn't short for anything.

I get what people are saying about Bonnie Blue but that story will be washed up before the baby is even at nursery, and I don't really make the association strongly. I would go for it if you like it (and if your surname isn't anything close like Hue)

ItsameLuigi · 03/08/2025 23:21

Immediately thought Bonnie Blue

Great name for a golden retriever
