I think it's dreadful. However, you might well think the same about my DS's name (which is not Harry, James, Oscar, Finlay or William). Why worry about what strangers on the internet think?

Starlightbright1 · 23/12/2014 23:38

I call my DS sonny boy but as a nickname I would be a bit Hmm if someone else called it him

TheNewStatesman · 23/12/2014 23:52

Christ almighty! Please, just... no.

Alisvolatpropiis · 24/12/2014 00:05

It's not a name I would use myself but I don't dislike it either, if you see what I mean?

I know a rugby player called Sonny, has worked for him!

lolalotta · 24/12/2014 07:16

Sooooo, is it pronounced sonny or sunny?

AlpacaYourThings · 24/12/2014 07:19

I quite like it.

sebsmummy1 · 24/12/2014 07:26

I have no problem with it either.

Keepontrudging · 24/12/2014 08:18

Haha Mrs De! Pronounced Sunny...

Thank you Keep, we had a Yorkshire terrier dog called Sunny...

Sophronia · 24/12/2014 12:46

It's not my usual style, but I actually quite like it!

emeline · 24/12/2014 12:58

I think it's an absurd name. I'd be terribly disapointed if, out of all the names in the world, I got given that one. What a short changer.

SunnaClausIsComingToTown · 24/12/2014 12:59

No name for a grown man. Just daft.

Hmm... I am undecided now, maybe it is a bit unsuitable for a grown man...

It's no more unsuitable for a grown man than Ptolemy is and there's a fair few little ones running around.

Persipan · 26/12/2014 11:52

A fair few little Ptolemies?

thegreylady · 29/12/2014 12:02

I know two boys called Sonny, both are lovely one 8 and one 10 so it isn't too unusual. It's not one I'd choose but I don't hate it.

thegreylady · 29/12/2014 12:03

There is also a 7 year old Ptolemy in the same circle.

insancerre · 29/12/2014 12:20

Its a name that travellers seem to quite fond of
