Bonnie is Scottish and is often used for boys and girls. The word means pretty or attractive, though it means good in French. Most people know of this name because of My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean, a favorite Scottish folk song.

Dorothy

Dorothy is short for Dorothea, which is Greek and means “God’s gift.” Some people say it’s a derivative of “Theodora,” as well. It was highly popular in the United States from 1904 to 1940, and everyone wanted to name their babies Dorothy after The Wizard of Oz was released.
