I'm kinda guessing the vote on this one but all the same....

Not considering Sunny

My ds is praying for a little boy (named Sonny) which isn't happening....I think it's a beautiful bright name and a girl of any age would appreciate this name

Opinions ( be gentle for the love of God!!)

Ps- for those that plan to say "but it's not a real name" stop right there!! Stop and step away from the keyboard

I know a boy called Sonny and that is bad enough.
Dreadful.

I have a friend, she is so lovely. And she has just one child, and can't have any more. He is called Sonny.
When I first heard the name i thought OMG!! However, he is the sweetest, friendliest, cheeriest wee man you ever met. A real ray of sunshine, and now I think the name suits him perfectly.
I wanted to call DS3 Bosco, so always feel I can't judge anyone else's name, Grin.
It isn't half as bad as some of the names I regularly see suggested here!!

Why would a girl appreciate being called a word which is a slang/affectionate/diminutive for a boy? Would you call a boy Girlie?

Well, I do see it as a nn rather than a full name.

And definitely on a boy (sorry)

No. Really, just no.
