sonny?

[bLooming2]

What's people's opinions?

I've always like it but it's become terribly popular.

Wel, if you like the idea of calling your child the equivalent of "YoungFellerMeLad" or "Chickabidde" it's fine.

If you actually want to call your child a name that does not have the potential to embarrass him or make his life more difficult than it need to be, then choose a real name.

I sort of like it. I want to like it, but it sounds too much like a nickname. Like Junior. It is what my son will be called if we don't ever agree on a name for him! I prefer Sunny, for a girl.

It's lovely. I've known a few little sonnys and never thought it to be an especially embarrassing or radical name. I really like it!

Really dislike it.

I can't imagine a man being called Sonny.

Seriously uncool.

Ok.
imagine yourself a young man trying to manage a group of older people. Would you find being Sonny a positive, a negative or a neutral?

Awful, truly, truly awful.

I love it

Worse than truly awful, it is fucking dreadful and, IMO, tantamount to child abuse.
Ghastly.

I know about 4 Sonnys and don't really like it either. It does seem like a nickname, like calling someone sweetie or matey. I also can't imagine an adult Sonny. I know a Herbie and a Buddy too and feel the same about those. Also a bit nickname-y.

Can people who like it say why? Is it the sound? The meaning?

Curlew, the reason I sort of like it is just because it's quite cute. But I would never use it other than as a nickname for that same reason! It would not be good for a grown man.

Well I can't imagine a miserable child called sonny I love it.

Absolutely dreadful.

I like it but would never use it.

I guess it's a cheerful, quirky name - would def use it for a dog

I like it, it was on our name lsit, I know two little sonnys and I know an adult called sonny, he seems happy with his name and its not caused him amy problems.

Dont get the hatred for it on mnet.

Makes me think "and Cher"

I like it, but then I also like Rudy, Louis and Jesse.

I like the -we ending for a boy's name. It sounds gentle and slightly old-fashioned and pleasant. I know these are fairly unfashionable criteria!

-ee ending not --we ending

It's totally dire.

I have a rudi fabulous name :)

I actually have a louie already yes I spell it that way before everyone corrects me again love the name jesse too well husband wont budge so wont be having a sonny

Louie is so lovely.

And Sonny is so.....not.

What else are you considering OP?

Louie, sonny and jesse were top of my list. Good choices. ( we ended up with a jude)

Love the name sonny.

I know a very lovely, handsome man named sonny. He is a proffessional and high up in his field. Hes never had an issue with his name. Quite the opposite!
