None of them ...

doughnutcraver · 06/02/2021 20:58

Sonny
Monty
Buddy is my DD dogs name

Cotswoldmama · 06/02/2021 19:19

Sonny, monty, buddy

pontiouspilates · 06/02/2021 18:59

Sonny is nice f you don't mind that it's fairly popular (or was a couple of years ago)
I like Monty (as PP have said, with this spelling)
Buddy is a dog.

HenriettaHeffalump · 06/02/2021 18:53

@TinyCake, he is Montagu (no e) according to wikipedia!

TinyCake · 06/02/2021 18:40

Is Monty Don a Monty or a Montgomery?

user1493494961 · 06/02/2021 18:18

Monty, then Sonny. Buddy is awful.

pilates · 06/02/2021 17:39

Only like Monty

JustanotherTuesday · 06/02/2021 17:32

Sorry but I don't really like any of them. Sonny is often used as nn for Conrad, if you wanted to use a full name on the birth certificate.

AuntieStella · 06/02/2021 17:13

Monty

Not the other two

NoAuthorityHereJackieWeaver · 06/02/2021 17:11

Monty (at a push)

Wouldn’t use any for a human, sorry.

YoniAndGuy · 06/02/2021 16:07

Gosh yes. Yet another way to pronounce Monte!

CakeRattleandRoll · 06/02/2021 13:53

Monte makes me think of the man from Del Monte.
Monty makes me think of Withnail and I, but I prefer it to Sonny or Buddy.

TenThousandSpoons · 06/02/2021 09:14

Buddy
Monte
Sonny

But I don’t like any of them, sorry.

YoniAndGuy · 06/02/2021 09:12

Monty for sure. Definitely don’t spell it Monte - it’s not just the spelling - lots of people would pronounce that as Mont. Unless that’s what you want!

If I saw that written down I’d have to ask ‘Do you say that as Monty or as Mont?’ It very unclear as well as looking wrong.

TinyCake · 06/02/2021 09:02

Monty
Sunny
I really don't like Buddy but if you do go for it!

BatleyTownswomensGuild · 06/02/2021 08:00

Sorry OP but I hate all three. They all sound like names you'd give a labrador....

NCGardener · 06/02/2021 07:55

Monty

Think of when they are an adult. Can't see a sonny or buddy enjoying those names in their teens onwards! 60 yo sonny? I'd be changing my name as soon as legally allowed

legalseagull · 06/02/2021 07:47

Monty is passable

Sonny and buddy just evoke images of old men talking to little boys "hey buddddy"

mumcop · 06/02/2021 07:21

Monty

EdgeOfACoin · 06/02/2021 07:10

Monte or Monty.

I dislike both Sonny and Buddy.

SaffieSoph · 06/02/2021 07:02

Monty, sonnie, buddy.

mummyhelen3 · 06/02/2021 03:11

Sonny
Buddy
Monte

If I'm being completely honest, Sonny is the only name I actually like on this list. Buddy is fine as a nickname but still stupid sounding. Are you naming a child or a dog? Please don't use Monte, it will get bullied.

gruffalosprickles · 29/01/2021 03:15

None. I don't like Buddy or Sonny and The Full Monty.

Smallonesaremorejuicy · 29/01/2021 02:57

Don’t really like them , dogs names or nn , wouldn’t sound right on a grown man except for Monty with a y .
