I’m due with a girl in [name_f]May[/name_f] and have been set on naming her [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] in honor my aunt who passed away a few years ago. However, I came across [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] recently and have fallen in love with it too! I would use both ([name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] or [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f]) but neither sound that great as middle names for the other. I’ve lurked around on Nameberry for a while and hope I can get some advice on which is better, or if there’s a way the names can be used together? Thanks!
I like both combos! Especially because [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] is an honour name, it works better than if it was just something you randomly threw in there. I’d go with [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f]. The name you love + honouring your aunt.
I love [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f]! It’s a family name for me, too. I by far prefer the flow of [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f]; I also like that [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] is like saying beautiful zinnia.

I hate the name [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] with a burning passion; I’m Scottish, so to me its like naming a child Pretty.
On the other hand, I think [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] is beautiful. So, for that reason, if you’ve got to use [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f], I’d go with [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f].
I think [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] is the nicer of the two. I don’t love them together as I don’t think they mesh well. Too much ‘n’!
[name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] sounds much better than [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f], but it really depends what you yearn to call her. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you want to say, Here is my daughter, [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] or Here is my daughter, [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f].
I much prefer [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f]. [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] works. I do prefer [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] as a nickname for [name_f]Bonita[/name_f], but that wouldn’t work with the same middle name.
I agree that [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] so lovely! [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] is so unusual, fresh, and zippy, and [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] still honors your aunt. The flow might not be ideal (I think it’s the repeated NEE sounds in both names?), but I think [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] definitely works, and sounds better than [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f].
Your other option might be to add a middle between [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] and [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] (or [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] and [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f]), like [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f], [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f], [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Anneliese[/name_f] [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f], or [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Georgina[/name_f] [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f]?
