What do you think of Sunny as a boy's name? I love it and we're thinking of using it, but not sure whether to spell it "Sunny" or "Sonny", I like it with a 'U' but hubby thinks it's too feminine and should be spelt with a 'O'; opinions please??? :D

I think Sunny would be just about bearable for a girl, although I still don't like it. Sunny for a boy, awful. Sonny as a boy's nn maybe but as a given name seems unfortunate.

Oooh, Sonny definitely. Sonny is a boys' name (although you might find lots of MN not keen on it since it started out as a pet name). Sunny is weather.

I also agree that, spelled Sunny it sounds like a girls' name that comes from the same vein as Autumn and Summer.

Sorry, is that a bit blunt? Sonny would be lovely Smile

We have a sonny in the family.

I love it.

He has a different name on his birth cert though. No one ever uses it.

Lovely name, should be spelled with an O though.

I like the name,although it does sound a little mafioso - i named my mum's dog Sunny though, although i think i wanted it to be Sonny, im my mind its sunny :) Isn't there a song? is that about a boy or girl?

Just don't have james as a second name :)

Seriously though, i like the name but to me, it should be spelt sonny
