Aww, I like the meaning. The more I consider it, the more I actually like it. Although, I wish there was something it could be a nickname for; I'm not sure if I could see myself using just "Bunty", though I'd be heavily tempted to use it as a nickname.
It's a bit of a stretch but Bernadette "Bunty"?
Hm, that could work! I always have liked Bernadette, anyway; the idea of Bunty being a nickname for it is very appealing to me... Many thanks!

Affery and Bunty are girls' names. :)
Hah! I should have known. I knew I would mess up on a couple, but those are not the ones I questioned!
I have a very good friend with the surname VandeBunte and I call her Bunty sometimes. I wouldn't even bestow it on a child though.
And Affery is disappointing when the world is full of extraordinary names!
