WDYT of the name Bonnie?

Yes?  No?  Does it go with Ian and Lila?

I know my name posts are annoying, but my inability to name my 3rd child is annoying to me so I'm spreading the feeling around. :)

Re: WDYT of the name Bonnie?

  • I've always thought that name was so cute! And Maggie too.

  • I really like it, but I hope the full name is Bonnie Blue Butler. ;)

    In all seriousness, I like it!  Would it be short for anything?

    Definitely where I got the idea. :)

    I don't think it would be short for anything.  I'm not big on nicknames.

  • NMS.  I have a friend whose 45 y/o sister is named Bonnie.  To me, it sounds like an old name that shouldn't come back.  Sorry.  I do like Maggie, though.  I think that's super cute!
  • Scarlett approves.  And by Scarlett, I mean the fictional character not my as-yet conceived daughter.  haha!

  • I don't really like the name Bonnie, it sounds like an old name. The only Bonnie I've ever know was and older lady. Maggie is a cute name though.

  • No, not a fan.  It sounds too country.
  • I love Maggie too. 
  • I think it's kind of cute! And I'm surprised at myself for thinking this. I'm not usually into cute.
  • I do not like Bonnie.

    Maggie is cute.  I think Nina or Greta would go cute with Ian and Lila.  I also like Ivy.

  • Horrid. Sounds like an overweight middle-aged woman,

  • Not feeling it but I love Maggie. I have a cousin named Maggie May and I love her name!
  • That's my mom's name!  It's a good name. 

  • You know I usually adore your taste in names (LOVE Lila and Ian) but Bonnie is definitely NMS. Maggie is so cute. Bonnie, not so much.

  • I have an aunt named Bonnie, and I love her!  I think it's cute and goes well with your other kids.
  • That's my name!  I didn't like it as a kid because it was a little different, but as I got older I like that it's not a super common name.  I was always excited as a kid when I found something like a pen or pencil or keychain with my name on it at a store.  It was a little tougher to find, but not impossible.  That stuff is important to kids!  :)  And I think it goes well with your other children's names.

    And FWIW, I'm NOT an overweight, middle-aged woman. Stick out tongue

     Ditto- it sounds kind of WT to me.

  • You know, the more I say it in my head, the more I like it. It's definitely growing on me.

     I agree with both of these.

    You take my ovaries, I take your yarns.
  • I'm not a fan, but the only Bonnie I ever knew was this really big, mean woman. She frightened me.
  • Not a fan, sorry.

  • Not a fan at ALL.  Way too country and wt especially with two great names like Ian and Lila.  I think your other choices are far better!
  • NMS but I love Maggie!
    BTW you are due on my birthday : )
  • Some of you guys are pretty mean.  After seeing someone actually HAD the name "Bonnie" on here (me!), you would call it "white trash"?  That is brutal.  Whatever happened to manners, or just saying it's NMS?  Really nice group here.
