Struggling to figure out how Sonny would be pronounced any differently with a Scouse accent....?

Rudy of course - because I love the song.

TweedyneeCole · 26/02/2010 16:52

All great names. Does he not look more like one of the names? (probably not...sorry!).

Personally, I'd go for Asa as it's the most grown up and 'proper' of the names. A real name for a gorgeous man! The other two are also very cool, though. Sorry, no help, am I?!

I love Sonny (it will be a contender for dc3 when I finally conceive) and think it goes well with Gene.
Second choice would be Rudy
Not keen on Asa but couldn't say why tbh.

Not keen on either Rudy or Sonny. Asa's ok. How about something like Abner? Seems to fit with the feel of Gene.

Ps - congrats!

I like Rudy but Sonny is nice too. Not keen on Asa.

Picklepaints · 26/02/2010 14:09

I love Sonny, my only hesitation would be if I lived near Liverpool or somewhere with a thick accent because it would change the name... >.<

I like Asa but I thought it was a girls name, it's quite a delicate name but then if little one is a delicate child it would be good!

I don't mind Rudy but it always reminds me of Ruby which is quite popular, and is also forever linked to "nudey-rudy" which is what we say here for nekkid!

Not much help, they are all lovely ... I definitely think Sonny and Gene go well together!
