Thread Name: Bonnie vs. Bonny
Subject: RE: Bonnie vs. Bonny
The origin is Latin, bonus (m), bona (f) if you take it back to the mediaeval. The bona form can change to bonae, sometimes, whereas the bona form becomes boni, spelled correctly. But when you submit those to vernacularism, you'll get bonny and bonnie, respectively.
