Baby Bonus → Baby bonus – (lowercase b) This is about baby bonus schemes in general, not about one particular such scheme called Baby Bonus. ― A. di M.​  18:00, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Google Ngram Viewer shows that baby bonus is well established as a non-proper noun phrase. ― A. di M.​  18:03, 10 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Support. If the matter must be decided by appeal to sources rather than as a matter of Wikipedia style (which is not the case), this ngram using the plural (incidentally suppressing many uses in title-capped headings) suggests that the generic, lower-case use is dominant.

 * (In general, I think using the plural in ngrams is a bad idea when trying to determine whether to use capital letters: see my comment at Talk:Semantic Grid for why. And this shows that “title-capped headings” are usually negligible.) ― A. di M.​  23:53, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Whatever we are to make of those observations, A di M, in this case the contrast between a substantial number and zero occurrences is a useful adjunct to the evidence you present. N oetica Tea? 00:14, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * If I recall correctly, there's a threshold in Google Ngrams so that any phrase occurring in fewer than 40 books in a given subcorpus in a given year is reported to never occur in that subcorpus in that year. (But this is an issue only if both forms being compared are vanishingly rare – in which case even a Google Web search might return results in the right ballpark.) ― A. di M.​  15:54, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Again, whatever we are to make of ... :) But point taken. The case is clear from all evidence, and from WP style considerations. N oetica Tea? 22:25, 11 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Support Baby bonus. I presume you didn't mean to force Baby to lower case, too.  Dicklyon (talk) 08:12, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Indeed I didn't. (Fixed the nom for clarity.) ― A. di M.​  15:54, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
