[name]Bonnie[/name] is cute, but I wouldn’t personally use it as a full name. I agree with you that it would fare better as a nickname. I’m not sure about what full name to use though. I’ve met a [name]Bernadette[/name] nn [name]Bonnie[/name], but that doesn’t really make sense.
The only name I know that has a connection to [name]Bonnie[/name] is [name]Bonita[/name], but I’m not a fan of that. I am a fan of [name]Bonnie[/name], but yeah, it feels like a nickname, not a full name, so I wouldn’t use it. Very cute, though!
[name]Alexis[/name]
In Gone with the Wind, [name]Rhett[/name] and [name]Scarlet[/name]'s daughter is named [name]Eugenie[/name] [name]Victoria[/name], but goes by [name]Bonnie[/name] because her eyes are the color of the “bonnie blue flag.” Sorry that’s probably not very helpful.
I don’t think that i could use [name]Bernadette[/name] or [name]Bonita[/name]! Not really my style! What about the name [name]Bronte[/name] (pn. [name]Bron[/name] [name]TAY[/name]) with nn [name]Bonnie[/name]…also doesn’t really make sense…but it sort of does work.
What are other names that contain both a “B” and an “N”? I can’t think of many…but i have a feeling those names might work!

All the names according to babynamewizard.com that start with a b and contain an n.
[name]Bryony[/name] is the best I think.
Thanks so much!
[name]Boston[/name], [name]Bronwen[/name] and [name]Brooklyn[/name] are my favorites! I can really see [name]Bonnie[/name] as a nn for [name]Boston[/name], but i am having a little difficulty seeing [name]Boston[/name] as a girl…more of a boys name to me. [name]Bronwen[/name] works really well! I just [name]LOVE[/name] the name [name]Brooklyn[/name]…but i like the nn [name]Brooke[/name] or Bookie better then [name]Bonnie[/name] for that name.
Any other suggestions anyone?
It could work as a nn for [name]Ebony[/name], [name]Albany[/name]
Some others that are quite a bit more of a stretch …Devony
[name]Evonne[/name], the ‘b’ and ‘v’ sounds are just so similar that it might work
Some random words that might work as a name…Bonhomie, (Baw-naw-mee) bonnet, (if you can use sonnet…) Bonnier, bonnily, debonair, dubonnet (a brand of wine),
I tried to make sure they all had a good meaning
Sorry if it seems kind of random I was really pulling at straws 
Yeah i thought of Bonnet too, but it might be to wordy for me. Maybe [name]Bennett[/name] could work though, but then again i couldn’t see using [name]Bennett[/name] for a little girl even if masculine names are being used for girls at this point.
I really do just like the name [name]Bonnie[/name]! I wish it didn’t sound so much like a nickname. What about using [name]Bonnie[/name] as a middle name? I think that it could be quite cute against a more formal name! Some of my favorite names would work quite well with [name]Bonnie[/name] actually, so maybe that is the way to go!
Personally, I think [name]Bonnie[/name] is a lovely name. If you really love it, don’t worry about it sounding like a nickname- give her a strong middle name, and I don’t think it would be a big deal.
I love [name]Bonnie[/name], and think it’s fine for a first name as long as you have a more formal middle. I have always loved [name]Bonnie[/name] , but as I live in scotland it is used fairly commonly (In my area anyway) to mean pretty and I think it might lead to teasing 
Old fashioned nick names are becoming quite trendy/popular these days. My mom’s childhood nn was [name]Bonnie[/name] and she grew to hate it. I am neither charmed by it nor against it. I’d definitely use a full name so that she has options as she grows up.
