[Opinions] Re: Bonnie
in reply to a message by clevelandkentevans
I like it more than Connie, at least, and it does sound kind of retro the way Veronica "Ronnie" would.
I would guess it started sounding young to Americans because of The Vampire Diaries (2009-2017). Bonnie's a spunky teenage witch in that.
Plus Billie Eilish (debuted 2017) is popular, maybe that makes it seem approachable. Billie & Bonnie seem similar styles.
Other names it seems similar to, to me:
semi-popular: Penny, Lucy, Ruby, Maisie, Sadie, Hallie
less popular: Betty, Robin, Sally, Brenda, Nancy, Nellie
