Bonnie is okay, nothing special. It was my sister's name and she always loved it. I suppose I can understand its appeal.

Bonnie is cool. It should sound dated, but it doesn't - I actually know a Bonnie my age (mid-20s), and it suits her perfectly (smart, capable, funky hair and and eyebrow piercing).

I really like Bonnie.
I have to admit that I used to think of it as on the wrong side of sweet - like sickly sweet - but the kickass character Bonnie in The Vampire Diaries did a lot for the badassery of the name.
I like that it means pretty. I like that it's well known, easy to say and spell but you probably wouldn't find two in every classroom/workplace. It's recent to my list and flits in and out of my top ten.

I like it and I think it has a huge comeback in front of it.

I just took a look at its dad's and I'm going to have to agree as well. It went from not ranking to 600 in a matter of four years.

I Agree!

I've never liked it. All I can think of is "a bonny lass."

Reminds me of...bonbons, bony, Bobbie, aggressive little dogs...those aren't great associations to me. I had an aunt-by-marriage Bonnie, but she wasn't that great.
The Middle French meaning's not bad, but "pretty" is...meh. It's dated and doesn't seem to have any other redeeming qualities, to me.
If I met a Bonnie I wouldn't think of her name negatively, though. It might be like meeting a Wanda or a Ronnie, and I'm fine with those.

Meh.....(m)
There are worse names, but also many, many better ones. I guess I don't hate Bonnie, but I don't really like it, either.

I Love it! Though I'm not sure about it as full name.

I know 2 Bonnies are they are both lovely so I really like the name. Both are in their mid 30s.

I've never known anyone having Bonnie as their given name, though known a few with it as a nick-name. One, her actual name was Margaret, preferred to be called Marg, and rejected being called Bonnie, except by childhood friends.
The other's actual name was Theresa, honouring her mother, but she was fine with Bonnie.

"My Bonnie lies over the ocean..."
It's too associated with the song for me.

I know a Bronwen (I think, unless she's Bronwyn) who's always been called Bonnie. Apart from her, it's exclusively canine in my world. For example, the first Scottie I had as an adult was very beautiful as well as, well, Scottish, so Bonnie was the name for her, until she developed a personality; then she became Bonzo to match it.
It's also risky. Bonnie - cheerful, energetic, bursting with health and laughter: what if she isn't?
