What full names can you think of that would work for the nickname [name]Bonnie[/name]?

Would [name]Bridget[/name] [name]Isobel[/name] nn [name]Bonnie[/name] be too much of a stretch?

Thanks

Interesting challenge! As a real life [name]Bonnie[/name], I’d love to find something for which it could be a nn. One of the reasons I’m not wild about my name (although I don’t hate it) is because it seems like a nn name, and I am one of those awful snobs who turns up her nose at such names. Maybe because I seem to have one?

At first glance your [name]Bridget[/name] to [name]Bonnie[/name] seems like a stretch, but it might work. I need to get used to the idea. I will think about this and get back to you.

[name]Brionna[/name] (Gaelic, noble, strong, virtuous)
[name]Bryony[/name] (I”m rather liking this one!)
[name]Bronte[/name] (?)
[name]Bronwyn[/name] (Perhaps my favorite! This Welsh name seems to blend into the Scottish [name]Bonnie[/name] very well!)
Boleyn (Depending on how you feel about names like this.)

[name]Bonnie[/name] can be a nickname for…
[name]Bonita[/name]
[name]Bonaventure[/name]
I think [name]Bonnie[/name] is usuable for [name]Bridget[/name] [name]Isobel[/name] (which is lovely). [name]Even[/name] thought [name]Bridget[/name] is Irish, the Scots have a phrase of endearment “bonnie lassie” for girls and “bonnie lass” for boys. Why not?

Nicknames can also be an extension of a shorter name. I like [name]Beau[/name] for a girl, and from there is [name]Bonnie[/name] is reasonable. The only problem is not everyone is sold on [name]Beau[/name] as a girls’ name.

[name]Bonita[/name] means beautiful/pretty in spanish. I’m assuming you will think your daughter is just that, [name]Bonita[/name]! So you can call her [name]Bonita[/name]/[name]Bonnie[/name] - [name]Bridget[/name] [name]Isobel[/name] is lovely!

Have you considered Isobeau instead of [name]Isobel[/name]?

I really like [name]Bridget[/name] [name]Isobel[/name] a lot! Very pretty but would suit a tomboy type too. I think it would work as [name]Bonnie[/name] could be considered a term of endearment too. I like the nickname [name]Bridie[/name] (bride-ee) for [name]Bridget[/name] as well. [name]Bonnie[/name] is really lovely though. [name]Jack[/name] and [name]Bonnie[/name] - sound good together imo!

Other names for [name]Bonnie[/name]:
[name]Bronwen[/name]
[name]Bonita[/name]
[name]Bryony[/name]
[name]Ebony[/name]

Can’t really think of anymore and [name]Bridget[/name] is far superior to these for me anyway!
