[Opinions] Re: Bonnie
in reply to a message by clevelandkentevans
It's mildly cute but in a grandma kind of way, mostly. We once very briefly had a pet lamb named Bonnie. (They really don't make good pets unless you're actually into sheep, but they are so cute when they're little.)
I also think of Scarlett and Rhett's little girl Bonnie Blue Butler, who was adorable but also badly, badly spoiled and met a grisly death. Her real name was Eugenie Victoria after the empress but she was called Bonnie Blue after her blue eyes and also, probably, a very heavy-handed tribute to the fallen Confederacy. Not an especially classy thing to do.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Bonnie Blue is cute
True, I remember her as well! I think that is why Bonnie is youthful to me (Bonnie Blue, Bonnie Wright, young Faye Dunaway). It doesn't give me a grandma vibe at all. I have it reserved for my first female dog (Bailey for a boy).
