I can't rank them. They are all equally bad. Sorry.

Bluesername · 29/01/2021 00:28

Sonny
Monty
Buddy

Monty is okay (although not my taste, it's nice enough). Followed eventually by Sonny, then Buddy if I must (Sonny and Buddy are cool nn's but I don't see them as "proper/adult" names, plus Buddy is popular as a dogs name too).

ClementineFox · 28/01/2021 23:26

Monty is the only one I like. Buddy is an elf!

Firebird83 · 28/01/2021 19:25

Sonny

KirstenBlest · 28/01/2021 19:09

Monty could be short for Montague.

Labobo · 28/01/2021 18:17

Sonny
Monty
Buddy

I quite like all of them but for some reason love Sonny even though it could be seen just asa term of endearment.

Bourbonbiccy · 28/01/2021 18:12

I think Montgomery on the BC, shortened to Monty.
They would be my only choice out of those names.

DappledThings · 28/01/2021 18:06

@FamilyOfAliens

None of the above, sorry, OP.

They all sound like dog names to me.

Same for me

JemimaTiggywinkle · 28/01/2021 16:54

How would you pronounce Monte?

Dinosaursdontgrowontrees · 28/01/2021 16:51

Monty
Sonny
Buddy

Cbeebiesrehab · 28/01/2021 16:48

Sonny (love this)
Monty (if spelt this way)

Buddy (don’t like this one at all sorry)

Marrilou · 28/01/2021 15:36

I like Sonny best but could be because I taught a Sonny once who was lovely so that may have influenced choice!
Monte is a bit different so would probably rank it second.
Buddy is nice for a little one but not sure would age so well.

CuppaZa · 28/01/2021 15:03

Monty is the only one that’s ok in that list.

galaxy9 · 28/01/2021 15:02

Sonny

Buddy
Monty

FelicityPike · 28/01/2021 12:48

1)Montgomery with Monty as a shortened name.
650) Sonny.
850) Buddy.

bourbonne · 28/01/2021 12:44

Is Monte "Montay"? That's what I would assume.
I don't think Buddy or Sonny are proper names, really. Though I would actually take either of them over Monty or any variation of Monty.

villamariavintrapp · 28/01/2021 12:16

Sonny, but it's not great. Not buddy or monte.

sorryforswearing · 28/01/2021 11:57

Sonny Is best.
Too many dogs called Buddy and Monty.
If you go for Monte he’ll spend his whole life correcting the spelling.

FatkinsDiet · 28/01/2021 11:55
  1. Monty (not Monte for me)
  2. Sonny
  3. Buddy (not sure this works all that well on a grown man...Sonny is a little better somehow)
Anotherducker · 28/01/2021 11:51

Monty
Sonny
Buddy

Whatsyourflava · 28/01/2021 11:51
