Boniface

Bony face? Questionable choice of name.

I love ancient names, but this is a name that's never been on my radar. I don't think I like it, but a good association could change my mind. It's not awful for me- just right past the point of 'maybe I don't like it.' I've always thought it was pronounced BAHN-ih-fiss.

"Bone-uh-face".

Bonnie-face. I don’t like it.

“Bone-uh-face”. It’s a funny name, but I would never use it on a beautiful baby girl because she will resent me forever.

An odd and very rare name. I don't like the English pronunciation at all, but the French pronunciation sounds pretty cool. It reminds me of a bunch of old Popes, though.

The name is nice and perfect for those who bear it.

Boniface is a very good name. From statistics, people with the name tend to do good. If the meaning of a name has influence on the person, then 'good fate' will definitely go down well. I like being called Bona, but my kids will use Boniface as a surname.

I like the name and I'm proud to be called Boniface. It just a nice name because there is something special about it.

I think the name Boniface is really cool and unique. There's something about this name that I really like! :)

This is actually a guilty pleasure of mine, and I like the meaning. I wouldn't use it myself since it sounds way too religious, and it's too old-fashioned even for my tastes. But it would be nice to see it being used.

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!"

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.

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.

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 always thought this name was odd.

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