Bonnie

Bonnie is a Scottish word before it is a name, from bonne, the French feminine of good, filtered through Lowland speech into a term for anything pretty or cheerful, a bonnie lass, a bonnie morning. It peaked in American popularity in the 1940s, aided by Gone With the Wind's little Bonnie Blue, and drifted into grandmother territory before the current vintage revival pulled it back. At rank 441, it's riding a gentle upswing among parents collecting names like Hattie, Millie, and Posey. Two short syllables, the long e rolling off the tongue. Warm, open-faced, and cheerfully un-precious.
