Help[Opinions] Bonnie
I noticed that Bonnie is on the rise in the USA the last few years.
This is a mild surprise to me as Bonnie's last peak of use was in 1946. So it's starting to "come back" about 15 years before I would normally expect it to.
I realize Bonnie's rise began earlier in the UK and it's becoming fashionable there. I do see how it fits in with English tastes, where pet names like Rosie, Evie, and Millie are more likely to be put on birth certificates than they are in the USA.
Bonnie took a particularly big jump in the USA in 2017. That was the 50th anniversary of the famous film "Bonnie and Clyde" and also the year that PBS in the USA had an episode about the original criminals Bonnie and Clyde on its "American Experience" series. I must say that to me Bonnie Parker is definitely not a good role model!
My image of Bonnie goes back and forth between "elderly" and "too cute and insubstantial" so I wonder what younger people see in it.
