Message: "Bonnibel" - Behind the Name

[Opinions] Bonnibel

I heard it on a show that I watch; it's the name of one of the main characters, a human/bubblegum hybrid princess.

I think it's cute, and she's my favorite character. I would never use the name on a person, but I think it would be precious on a pet bunny or rat.

I heard that Bonnibel means "beautiful" in Scottish, and an unreliable baby name website says that it's a variant of Bonnie, which both make sense. Apparently it's also a kind of shoe, which I don't really care about.

WDYT? Do you have any additional info on it/can you clarify the info above?

Bonnie Bell

Is a girl's/teenager's cosmetic brand. They mostly make lipgloss, at least they did when I was a kid.

Bonnibel would just be a mush of Bonnie and Belle. I think it's too cutesy and frilly, but I love Bonnie.

yeah, Bonne Bell

I instanly thought of those too!

I actually think Bonne Bell is prettier than Bonnibel, which I half want to say like "Hannibal".... "Bonnible"

also I keep typing it as Bunnibel. CUTE.

Yeah, Bonnible is exactly how I said it too! It also reminds me of Bonne Belle-- I used to have yellow cake flavored lip gloss in a giant tube on a string that I loved as a kid.

LOL. I thought of the cosmetic brand as well. I used to love Lip Smackers.

I agree that Bonnibel sounds too frilly and cutesy. Bonnie is darling and more solid. I prefer it to Bonnibel and Bonnie Belle.

I used Lip Smackers as a kid, but I never heard of the mother company Bonne Bell.

And I've been loving a lot of frilly names lately.

Oh, Lip Smackers! I had a Dr. Pepper one that I loved. :)

I do think Bonnibel is a neat alternative to other -bel names! Frilly names just aren't my thing.

Bonnibel is downright adorable! That being said, I don't thik I would want to be a 35 or 45 or 55 year old Bonnibel! And Bonny just isn't my cup o' tea, so I wouldn't use it IRL. Maybe on a pet or something/someone who would be perpetually young.

Yeah, that's the issue I had with it too- it wouldn't suit adults. Thanks for your input.

I am pretty sure that is a kids brand of lip gloss or something like that. It is way too cutesy for me, but would be adorable for a bunny.

Yup it is a company that makes cosmetics, but they spell it Bonne Bell :)
