Bonnie is also used as a masculine given name in English. However, it's more common for females. So, I think that the "Gender" of this name should be updated from "Feminine" to "Feminine & Masculine".

Harry Potter star whom played Ginny Weasley in HP film series named Bonnie Wright. The name itself means PRETTY, don't think it sounds childish at all. I can imagine young girls and old ladies and a grandma named Bonnie which means this name ages perfectly like Charlotte and Catherine etc.

This name has really grown on me. I thought it sounded too childish at first but I have now met an older Bonnie and nothing about her name seemed weird. I like the Scottish aspect as my grandparents are Glaswegian.

I can’t believe people actually call their children Bonnie. It sounds like bunny. Bonnie is way too cutesy and babyish and will not suit an adult. Where my friend lives, Bonnie means fat. About age 7 or 8 is the cutoff for this name. I don’t think anyone would take a doctor named Bonnie seriously.

My name is Bonnie! I'm 17 and it is super, super rare that I ever meet anyone with the same name, which I like. I live in Australia where Bonnie is pronounced with more of an "O" sound rather than like "BAHN-ee". I really dislike the way Americans say the name. Like it just sounds like Barney coming from an American. However, where I live, I love the sound of my name. It's a classic, super gorgeous. Honestly, if I wasn't named Bonnie I would probably name my future daughter Bonnie lol.

My name is Bonnie and I strongly dislike it. I’ve never met anyone under 50 with my name and every time someone says it I cringe. I’ve thought about changing it for years. Most of my close friends and family call me Bon, which is better.

My name is Bonnie and I love it! My mom wanted to name me after the character Bonnie Jean in the musical, Brigadoon, about a little town in Scotland. Dad said I’d not be named after a movie character so I was named Bonnie Lynn. It’s a popular Scottish word that means pretty and I’m very proud to bear this name. My Grammie used to call us wee Bonnie lasses! It’s so nice to read so many positive comments. Thank you.

In my opinion Bonnie is one of the cutest names! I have a friend named Bonney and a relative named Bonnie, but it doesn’t matter how you spell it, it’s still adorable. It’s a name that you can age with too and also have cute nicknames like ‘Bon Bon’ or ‘Bon nae nae’ (the last one is my friend's nickname). This is just my personal opinion though. I don’t really think it works for a masculine (or just male) figure though.

I do not particularly like the sound of the name. It is weirdly pronounced. Bonnie. Just does not sound like the name of a woman. I love the name though because there was this really sweet girl when I was growing up- she was ten years or at least eight years older than I- she would be in her 50's now- and she was so nice so I loved her and began to love the name. It is very interesting that Bonnie means pretty in Gaelic as it also means pretty in Spanish- Bonita is pretty in Spanish. As I said phonetically I never liked the name but because of that sweet girl I loved her and her name.

My name is Bonnie Louise. Both my first and middle names are named after people from our family I love my name Bonnie because my dad gave it me it was one of his good friend's names and I love how it sounds when people hear my name they get excited because they haven't heard that name in a long time. It makes me happy to see people get excited about my name. I also had a friend named Bonnie in school, she was a good friend and when I hear my name being called I get excited because I love my name, my name is so cool because not every day you hear the name Bonnie.

This is my name, and I like the meaning of it (which is good and beautiful). But I also like it because of part of the reputation that seems to go with it-- some people smile when they hear my name, like it's sweet. And when I'm getting to know people no one expects me to be anything but kind and innocent.
The cons are that I think some people hear it and equate the sweetness of my name to being naive and not knowing things, as well as kind of being bubble headed. And no one seems to think I could understand dirty humor. As if my name or my overall vibe is that I've been sheltered. I've also heard the pickup line "Oh, so your Bonnie? I'm Clyde." More than once.

There seems to be a lot of Witches with the name Bonnie. There was a Witch Bonney ('ey' spelling) in Massachusetts that was part of the Salem Witch craze. There is a Bonnie in the film, The Craft, who is a witch and also a witch character with that name in The Vampire Diairies. Never been a fan of the name though.

Cute for a kid, yet mature enough to fit a grown woman, and it feels like that kind of name that could work on any type of girl. A bit to plain for me, though. I prefer names that stand out a little more.

Bonnie is a character in Telltale's The Walking Dead game. She is a playable character in the 400 Days DLC, and the only 400 Days character to come back as an actual large role in Season 2 and not just a cameo, as she is the only character who always comes with Tavia to Carver's camp no matter what choices you make.

Bonnie is a terrible name! It's way too cutesy to be used on a real person, even a little girl. Besides, it doesn't even sound like a real name, more like a nickname an overprotective parent would give to their spoilt little princess.

I had my second daughter a year ago and could not think of a name that suited her, it took about four weeks to decide on Bonny. All the names my husband and I liked, just did not suit her. She was born HAPPY, every time someone looked at her they said "what a bonny baby" and it kind of stuck! I have had so many people comment on her name and say it's lovely and suits her so much.

My name is Bonnie. Although I have hated it when people sing "My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean" to me, and ask me "Hey Bonnie, where's Clyde?", I really like the name. Some people have told me it's supposed to be short for Jessica, but I doubt it.

Not Jessica. It has been used as an affectionate term but its use as a first name goes back a few hundred years. Margaret Mitchell popularised it but people incorrectly think its inception as a name started there, just like Scarlett, India etc.

There's a beautiful Scottish song called "The Bonnie Banks o' Loch Lomond". It's very nostalgic, and captures the romantic spirit of the lost cause of Bonnie Prince Charlie, and the failure of the Jacobite Rising. The chorus is "O you’ll tak’ the high road and I’ll tak’ the low road And I’ll be in Scotland afore ye For me and my true love will never meet again On the Bonnie, Bonnie banks o’ Loch Lomond." Every time I hear this name, I think of that song.

It's a term of endearment, an adjective but also a name and been used for hundreds of years. Taking Bonnie from uglier names like Yvonne or Bronwen or from the Spanish word Bonita is silly overkill although feasible I guess.

A bearer of the name was Anne Bonny (or Bonnie) (1700-?), a famous Irish pirate who disguised herself as a man and served under her lover, Captain 'Calico Jack' John Rackham with her comrade-in-arms Mary Read. Their ship was captured in 1720 and the men were hung, but Anne pled pregnancy, received a stay of execution and simply disappears from record.

The Bonnies I have known have been a bit pushy and driven. Not bad things but they tend to be very strong willed.
Bonny and Bonnie were unisex once. It's due for a big revival. If we have to endure Katie, Millie and Mollie in England, why not Bonny. It's not technically a nickname for anything.

Bonnie doesn't sound like an intelligent name, at all. It's too sweet, too fluffy, so much that it sounds like a food or a pet's name. I can see how this name may be okay at best many decades ago in older times, but modernly it just sounds ditzy.

I love this name, it's tremendously cute and sounds like the name of a sweet girl. However, I do wonder if it's a bit too cute for a grown-up. I actually don't think it would sound totally crazy on boys and men either, assuming you use it on a cool guy who has the right look and personality for it. But using it for a boy could really be risky.

"Bonnie" might be ultimately derived from the Middle French "bon", but the Scots Gaelic word "bàn" ("fair"/"pale") could have played a part, and especially since many English speakers pronounce Bonnie "BAH-nee". Still, it does seem like a mere coincidence and they're probably just sound-alikes.
