Morning Ray and listers George and I have been communicating now for several weeks and in some info came across a BUNTY. I've been to your site Ray and it comes up blank. Now I've only know one other Bunty and that was a family pet name that stuck and everyone eventually called this very nice, Yorkshire lady Bunty. I've no idea what her real name was, even her children called her Bunty. Anyone any ideas what Bunty's real name could be or was it as it is.

Hi Carol "Bunty" - English; originally a nickname of uncertain derivation. Popular in the 20th century as a baptismal name. Possibly derived from a pet-name [no pun intended, I think] for a lamb from the old English "to bunt" = to butt gently. Source: the Oxford Names Companion. That may be one of the English names I will add in due course. Can you send me details of the Bunty you've found. It isn't Scottish but I have some English names in the database.
