I like the sound of seasonal and monthly names (April, Summer, Autumn..) and think that Sunday would be a name that I would grow to like even though at first it sounds a little weird. Monday would never be liked as a name for obvious reasons.

I do actually think it's a nice name but my first thoughts were of Ferne. But who cares 🤷‍♀️

I personally love it and also Tuesday and Wednesday as names.
I meet a lovely woman from SA once, her name was Happy Sunday! She was so cheerful every time I met with her and she had such a wonderful outlook on life, she seemingly rubbed off on anyone she talked to.

No.

It will just be used on "Who's on third" or "over to Captain Over, over".

No.

Think of teenagers asking what they're doing on Sunday...

No

Had to google Fearne McCann - don't do reality tv nonsense so no connection there.

No religious connection either...

Just always loved it, but do love Tuesday too :)

Same as Fern McCanns baby.

Can’t you think of something else?

There are so many other names...

Then again, Friday might be better? Or Thursday?

Hmm

I don't know why some days of the week are acceptable as names and some aren't but that's the way it is.

If I heard of a child called Sunday I'd assume you were a) religious or b) a bit try hard. Sorry! Blush

I love it but also like it with the spelling Sundae (which was my dogs name Grin)

ParkerPen · 01/07/2018 09:47

Just weird.

It's the least bad of the name days, because at least there's Sunny for a nickname, but it's still very strange.

Just why? There are plenty of nice names out there. Why do you have to choose a word rather than one of them?

Remember, you're naming a person, not a baby.

I'm not a fan. One, I don't like Sundays; two, it makes me think of the Addams Family.

Tropicana123 · 01/07/2018 09:42

I love it ! Along with Tuesday also

SleepingStandingUp · 01/07/2018 09:30

I always think days of the week are weird, whether she's born on it or not, but it do quite like it
