What do you think of Sunny?

[CassieAndKez]

What do you think of Sunny as a boy's name? I love it and we're thinking of using it, but not sure whether to spell it "Sunny" or "Sonny", I like it with a 'U' but hubby thinks it's too feminine and should be spelt with a 'O'; opinions please??? :D

Do you like any names it could be a nn for eg. Samson, Harrison etc.? Just to throw something else in the mix.

I quite like it with an 'o'.

I like it, but has to be spelt Sonny as 'sunny' sounds like your describing the weather.

I like Sonny but it has to be with an 'o'

Inflicting Sunny onto a boy is just wrong...

I came across a Sunny Day once

Sunny is lovely for a girl, but would just look misspelt on a boy.

Sonny is awful imo. It sounds like you couldn't be bothered to think of a name and just added a bit onto son. Daughtery is also not good. I quite like D.S. for a boy though.

Please spell with an 'o' it's nice. Sunny too girly and floaty

It's lovely as a nickname for a little boy but I would think seriously about whether he'd thank you for it as a teenager/adult

Stupid name, sorry op. and it's not even a name.
Can you imagine him being a headmaster, or head of the Bank of England, or come to that, a vicar, a bin man, or a plumber with that name, whichever way you spell it

Love it - its our top boys name. Sonny though not Sunny.

I think it's v cool - go for it!

I know a male sunny who obviously likes his name as his son is also called sunny. When spelling his name he often has to say sunny like the weather.

I think both variations are awful. I call ds Sonny Boy as one of his nicknames and I can possibly imagine using Sunny as a nn for a very cheerful child, but as a given name I think it's deeply naff.

My little boy is called Sonny, we named him after my grandads brother. The name goes really well with his brothers, Teddy!

Please not if your surname begins with a D!

When I saw the thread title I thought it was about naming a girl. I agree with Nooka about the name anyway. Definitely a nickname imo.

Sorry its more than stupid

why the hell is it ok to be so obnoxiously rude about the names of other peoples children?

If its not to your taste and you have a reason for it then maybe put it aross but otherwise, why bother contributing to the thread with stupid comments!

'Stupid' is maybe in the eye of the beholder?

Well, yeah, if its stupid to think that calling a persons name choice stupid, for no other reason than apparently, its stupid, then call me stupid

I don't go around calling people or their opinions stupid.

The opinion that something is stupid is pretty self explanatory. So is the opinion that a comment is stupid.

Sunny - spelling error. Sonny - ok. I know a boy called Sonny he's fab

One of ds mates called Sonny I like it

Could you give Jackson/Harrison/Jenson or something on birth cert just in case and nn sonny?

I'd completely forgotten but my cat is called Sunny (adopted he came with his name). He is a sort of goldeny colour, bit it's a bit of a boring name really.

My personal rule on naming was not to tell anyone until my children were born, and I'd never comment to a parent on an actual child's name, but here where people are asking 'what do you think of' questions I don't think it really is unreasonable to be honest. Otherwise what is the point of asking?

Sophie Ellis Bextor's son is called Sonny.

The Obamas have just named their new female dog Sunny.
