Comments for the name Boniface

There is a part of a city named St. Boniface in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

Boniface is the name of a character in the book "The Thief Lord" by German author Cornelia Funke. He goes by the nickname 'Bo'.

I like this name a lot, but would never name my child this.

Whenever I see this name, I pronounce it "bony face" in my head.

I always thought this name was odd.

In the movie "Les Choristes," a character is named Boniface.

Bonifac´s nicknames are Bono, Bony, Bonifacio, Bonif.

Pronounced Bone-Eh-Fa-Che.

This would be a very strange name to have. It could be very easily turned into something to tease him with. Aside from the "your face" jokes, bullies might call him Bonifascist.

I honestly love this name. I would consider it as a middle name or something. I don't know if I would give it to my kid as a first name. That way I could call him Boniface but everyone else had to call him something different, lol.

I like this name in French, but I can't stand it in English. In that language, it sounds pretentious and like a name that fundamentalist Catholic parents stuck in the Middle Ages would name their son. This should remain a French name.

Please don't name your kid this. You will save them from a lot of teasing! If I were 12 and saw someone with this name, I would say "Hey, there goes bony face!"
