71.0. "Bonnie-Jean" by 3251::LIENERT () Fri Jan 09 1987 11:42


            My first name is Bonnie-Jean.  Up until
        college I only went by Bonnie, I thought that
        Bonnie-Jean was too formal.  I now like it but
        still usually tell people to call me Bonnie but most
        of my friends and relatives call me by my full
        name. Bonnie is Scottish for pretty.  I don't
        know what Jean means.

            The most common nickname is Bon (for Bonnie).
        I like Bons the best becuz it was given to me by someone
        special.  My stepfather calls me Bon-Bon (said
        with a French accent) which only sounds right
        coming from him, I don't think that anyone else
        could get away with it.  Since I have been using
        my full name, a lot of people call me BJ, which I
        like also.

            My mother was in New Orleans while she was
        pregnant with me.  I was named after a friend she
        met down there.  Most people expect me to talk
        with a southern accent becuz my name has a
        southern ring to it.

            My last name, Lienert, is Swiss(my paternal 
        grandfather came over when he was 12)  and most
        people cannot pronounce it.  It uses the German
        pronouncination of 'ie' (Lean-ert) and not the American
        version as in 'lie'.  But I was brought up to say
        it like Lie-nert and only recently was made aware
        that I was saying it wrong.  I do not know what
        it means.

            I don't know many people with the name Bonnie
        and I have only met on other Bonnie Jean but she
        did not hypenate her name.

71.1	Jean	GIGI::TRACY		`Mon Jan 12 1987 09:52`	4
	According to my baby name book ("Name Your Baby" by Lareina Rule), Jean is the French version of Jane and means "God is gracious." -Tracy
71.2	Bonnie's Unite	3567::DROWNS		`Wed Jan 14 1987 13:45`	13
	My name is Bonnie, I don't have a middle name. I'm the tenth child out of eleven. My Mother claims to have run out of names by that time. I am also called, by friends The Bon. They also call me Bonnie Bunns because I'm known to wear my long hair up in a bun. I haven't met to many people named Bonnie. If I have a little girl I think I'll name her after me.
71.3	magic in a name...	NCMWVX::WARRENS	Would Spock write JCL?	`Fri Aug 28 1987 22:13`	21
	> name. Bonnie is Scottish for pretty. I don't > know what Jean means. Actually, 'Jean' is an American West (Indian?) term for cosmic, cosmos, or cosmology - at least indirectly. Specifically, jean came to be a code for the important number 501. This number being magic, it could NEVER be spoken only contemplated. 501 is magic, and thus the relationship to cosmic, etc, because 5 + 1 is 6 and there is 1 null number (circle) between, to add up to 7! 7 is one of the most magic of numbers (other than 0 which, of course, this representation (ie 501) even contains.) If you don't believe that 501 is magic, or jean is its code just consider the tertiary code for it, (actually a degenerated form) levi, and various short (30 sec) video segments with all three of these codes and numbers shown on American TV's, primarily from the West coast. ;^)
71.4	beam me up Scotty, I don't want to be in 71.3	KAOA05::LEWIS	Michael	`Thu Dec 31 1987 14:58`	3
	What did you sprinkle on your corn flakes the morning of the 28th of August 1987?
71.5	another Scottish Bonne too!	SASE::MARCHILDON		`Wed Feb 07 1990 12:39`	4
	Insert My name is Bonne too, Bonne Natalie -- I was born with it Bonnie but I decided when I was small that I wanted to drop the "i" and now it's Bonne -- it always has been (that's really me!)
71.6	Bonnie Baby! (thats my favorite nickname!)	MCIS2::HUSSIAN		`Tue Aug 28 1990 12:00`	21
	Hello, Another fello Bonnie here! I love my name, & I know lots of Bonnies! My middle name is Lou, which sounds VERY southern, only it's short for my grandmother on my fathers sides name, Louise.--->I'd love to get people to call me Bonnie Lou, but I've ALWAYS been called just Bonnie, & I feel that people wouldn't bother w/ the middle name if I changed it now. I get asked quite frequently if my name is Bonita, & sometimes I'm even told to use my full name & not a nick name, which drives me nuts! MY REAL NAME IS BONNIE! I tell them. Anyhow, I think I'd name a daughter after myself as well, Bonnie! I'm glad to know that you like your name, I love mine, & knowing that there are so many people who don't is a bummer. My parents took the time to come up w/ a name that they felt suited me, Which I take as a wonderful compliment. I'll Always appreciate that the name they gave me means Pretty One! Happy babynaming! Bon (Bonzo, bonzai, bonj, Bons, Bon-Bon, Bona-lou,)
71.7	Bonnie-Jeanne	7221::SCUNNIEN		`Mon May 06 1991 10:20`	3
