I need an alternative!!

I really love the name [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f], but obviously can’t use it due to the [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] and [name_m]Clyde[/name_m] association. But I just love it’s badass yet pretty vibe!!

I need some names like [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f]!!!

Ohmygosh. Right there with you. would you just want a longer form, or a whole new name all together? for a longer form I like Braunwen/ [name_f]Bronwyn[/name_f]/Braunwyn however you spell it. Lol

The have yet to find a name that I like as much as [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f]. [name_f]Clara[/name_f] and [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] come close though!!

I don’t really think that’s a strong enough association to be a problem. If you love [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f], use her!

I completely agree with rmclay. I know a few Bonnies and do not associate them with the infamous duo at all. What I think of is the old folk song, which I adore. It’s also the scottish term for “pretty” as in “she’s a bonnie lass”. :slight_smile: I say if you love this name, then you should go for it. I don’t think you’ll find an equal.

Unless you have a son or husband named [name_m]Clyde[/name_m] I don’t think there’s any reason to avoid [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f].
Maybe a longer form.

Anabeau
Belladonna
[name_f]Belinda[/name_f]
[name_f]Bethany[/name_f]
[name_f]Briony[/name_f]
[name_f]Bronte[/name_f]
[name_f]Burgandy[/name_f]
[name_f]Zenobia[/name_f]

I know a [name_f]Bonita[/name_f] who goes by [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f].

[name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] is totally useable. My cousin wanted [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] but went for [name_f]Libby[/name_f] in the end. [name_f]Libby[/name_f] is a pretty cool name.

[name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] is just an adjective where I’m from but I think it’s fairly popular in the UK as a whole. Similarly…

[name_f]Kitty[/name_f]
[name_f]Queenie[/name_f]
[name_f]Lottie[/name_f]
[name_u]Connie[/name_u]
[name_f]Millie[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Lola[/name_f]
[name_f]Heidi[/name_f]
[name_f]Lindy[/name_f]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
[name_f]Tallulah[/name_f]/[name_f]Lula[/name_f]/[name_f]Lulu[/name_f]
[name_f]Betsy[/name_f]
[name_f]Dixie[/name_f]
[name_f]Buffy[/name_f]
[name_f]Nancy[/name_f]
[name_f]Anya[/name_f]
[name_f]Zuzu[/name_f]

My grandmother’s name was [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f], I don’t see how it could be tied to that association, unless, as kala_way said, you have the name [name_m]Clyde[/name_m] in your immediate family.

I also think if you love [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f] you should use it.

If there’s no-one in your daughter-to-be’s immediate family named [name_m]Clyde[/name_m], I doubt anyone will even think of that. I say go for [name_f]Bonnie[/name_f]!

Thanks everyone, I’ll definitely take those thoughts into consideration!!! I don’t have anyone by the name of [name_m]Clyde[/name_m] in my family :(, so I guess maybe it’ll work!!
