Bonnie by the numbers
In 2025, 882 babies in England and Wales were named Bonnie. In the US, 412 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given far more often in England and Wales than in the US.
Its American peak was 10,216 babies in 1947, so it is a 1940s name that has since fallen a long way.
At its height, in 1945, about 1 in 170 American girls born that year was called Bonnie.
