HelpRe: Boniface
in reply to a message by Nobody
Id' say it like "Bonnie Face" and it's not a pleasent sound. I love Bonnie, but the "face" tacked on at the end makes it unpleasent in my opinion. It seems like an insult little kids would call each other... "You're a stupid face!" "Yah, well, you're a BONNIE FACE! So there!" Know what I mean?
Just doesn't seem like a name to me.

Bonnie (spelt like this) actually means good-looking in Scottish English.
I pronounce the name bo-nee-FA-tshe, as in the hiostorical character.

I know Bonnie itself wouldn't be an insult, hehe. But I just don't like the sound, and I think of little kid insults when I hear it.
I didn't know the real pronunciation... Just giving my first impressions. I didn't know there was a historical character... I didn't even click the link! I'll check it out now.
