The baptism in question was in 1746 at St Mary, Whitechapel.

Absolutely no help at all but the IGI has the baptisms recorded twice from 2 different batch numbers ... one has her name as Bonaty and the other has it as Bouaty.

An internet search for bouaty turns up several first names e.g. "Bouaty K. is on facebook...", so it does (still) seem to be a valid name.

It definitely looks like Bouaty or Bonaty, very clearly!  I've never heard of it as a first name but I just googled it and a person with Bouaty as a first name is on FaceBook!  It's perhaps a foreign name.

So you did !! Sorry about that Polly.

There are only a few refs to the name, though, and all seem to be Indian (or subcontinental, at least) people...

The chances of there being a subcontinental origin in this case would be very slim I would imagine.
My bet is still on it being a misspelt "Beauty". Mind you, I have never come across it myself.
I am Australian, from all the lands I come (my ancestors, at least!)

Pine/Pyne, Dowdeswell, Kempster, Sando/Sandoe/Sandow, Nancarrow, Hounslow, Youatt, Richardson, Jarmyn, Oxlade, Coad, Kelsey, Crampton, Lindner, Pittaway, and too many others to name.
Devon, Dorset, Gloucs, Cornwall, Warwickshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire, Wilts, Germany, Sweden, and of course London, to name a few.

I've never come across Bounty or Beauty...but you never know, I have a Fortunata in my tree so stranger things have happened!

I still think the second letter is an "o" rather than an "e", just comparing other examples on the page, but of course variations in letterforms are possible/probable.
