@BwanaBob

Have you ever seen the movie? He has horns in the second half; he even fights using them.

come to think of it, ya i have not.

I hate to disillusion all you people, but Bambi is a sexless fictional cartoon character.

(Likewise, Tinker Bell, Peter Pan, and the Great Pumpkin are also fictional)

Obviously. This is threadshitting, so please don’t do it again.

Has anyone actually met a woman named or nicknamed ‘Bambi’? Not a working name for someone in the, ah, entertainment field, but an actual nickname?

–
If he’d been named Sergei, it would have been a completely different movie. Sergei is badass, unless you anglicize it into ‘Suergey.’ Then you’re a puss.

I haven’t metLawrencia “Bambi” Bembenek. Sad story though.

Not to get political in a thread about a cartoon deer, but sometimes it feels like the second anything gets tainted with femininity (a name, a style, a sport) it’s forever consigned to that “side.” You see that a lot with male names given to girls (pretty sure I even read a thread about it here).

“Bunny” used to be a male nickname. And “Beverly” and “Gale” used to be more common as male than as female names.

That’s pretty much how it works. It’s well documented and there are many names that could be added to CalMeacham’s list.

There’s an Air Force EOD tech (and a rather good-looking one, at that) who goes by Bambi. I’m pretty sure that’s her given name, but not entirely.

Can you think of any even semi-common male names in the US (define “in the US” as given to native-born boys, not children adopted from overseas) that both end in “i” and aren’t Hebrew in origin? I can’t.

Boys tend to get Biblical names, most of which are Hebrew in origin–John, James, Peter, Thomas, Simon, etc. Today, a non-Jewish boy might be named Levi, although Ari still seems pretty Hebrew.

I know a guy that goes by “Bunny” not his real name but he was born on easter.

Some mothers are wonderful and evil at the same time lol.

So what if I did? I’m not apologising. My life collapsed after “Bambi”. I was a lovable fawn alright, unusable for anything else. I took the Babycham stuff, sure, thanks to Mike here, but… I was finished. When the porn “Bambi” came along, well, I thought, this is where I get something back… If it hadn’t been for the chance to present University Challenge and start a new life, I’d be giving executive relief to woodland creatures to this very day.

Well, are you going to let us win?

“Amari” is climbing in popularity as a name for black boys (overall it’s now much more popular than “Ari”).

There was a professor named Bambi Hu where I went to college. I never had a class with him, but others told me that he was a man.

I don’t know if it was his real name, but it appears in official sources.

No, of course not, the posh kids win, they always do.
