Biography of Bonnie in Different Contexts

So, who—or what—is “Bonnie Bruise”? Well, there’s no one named Bonnie Bruise in any official records. But there are a couple of Bonnies that might explain where the name comes from.

One is Bonnie Raitt, a real-life American singer known for her bluesy sound and soulful guitar work. She’s been in the music scene since the 70s and is definitely not scary—unless you count her killer slide guitar solos.

Then there’s Bonnie from Five Nights at Freddy’s, the horror game series that scared a lot of people straight out of their sleep. He’s a blue animatronic bunny with glowing eyes and a guitar, and he definitely gives off some bruise vibes if you catch him lurking in a hallway late at night.

Bonnie in Five Nights at Freddy’s

Now, if you’ve ever played Five Nights at Freddy’s, you probably remember the creepy vibe of Freddy’s pizzeria—and Bonnie definitely doesn’t help calm things down. He’s one of the original animatronics, right alongside Freddy, Chica, and Foxy. He’s a tall, blue, somewhat lanky bunny with glowing pink eyes and a guitar strapped on his back.

At first glance, he looks like the kind of guy you’d see in a kids’ show, right? But as the game goes on, he starts sneaking around the halls, peeking through cameras, and eventually trying to jump scare you through the office door. Definitely not the kind of Bonnie you’d invite to a birthday party.

So why is he called Bonnie? Well, in the game’s lore, each animatronic was named after a child who was unfortunately killed and later had their spirit trapped inside the robots. Bonnie’s backstory is pretty intense, and fans have spent years trying to piece it all together through hidden clues and Easter eggs.

He’s not just a one-trick rabbit, either. Bonnie shows up in multiple versions across the FNAF series—sometimes glitchy, sometimes ghostly, and sometimes even wearing a pirate hat. Talk about versatility!

Bonnie Raitt – The Real-Life Musician

Now, let’s switch gears and talk about the real Bonnie—the one you might actually meet if you go to a blues concert. Bonnie Raitt is a Grammy-winning singer and guitarist, known for her smooth voice and slide guitar skills. She’s been around since the early '70s and has influenced a whole generation of musicians.

Her name probably gets mixed up with the FNAF character because of the way it sounds. “Bonnie” is a Scottish name meaning “beautiful” or “cheerful,” and it’s used in songs like “My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean.” That’s probably where the “Bruise” part comes in—someone might’ve misheard or misread the lyrics and started searching for “Bonnie Bruise” instead.

She’s definitely not a horror character, but her name has become part of internet culture in a pretty unexpected way.

What Does Bonnie Mean?

So, what’s up with the name Bonnie anyway? Bonnie is a Scottish name that literally means “pretty” or “cheerful.” It’s often used in Scottish folk songs and stories, and sometimes it’s even used to describe something beautiful or charming.

For example, there’s a song called “My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean,” which is probably where the confusion with “Bonnie Bruise” comes from. If you misheard the lyrics or read a typo online, it wouldn’t be surprising to start searching for “Bonnie Bruise” instead.

It’s also been used in pop culture a few times, like in movies and books, but nothing quite as creepy as the animatronic version from FNAF.
