I always think days of the week are weird, whether she's born on it or not, but it do quite like it

Tropicana123 · 01/07/2018 09:42

I love it ! Along with Tuesday also

EssentialHummus · 01/07/2018 09:46

I'm not a fan. One, I don't like Sundays; two, it makes me think of the Addams Family.

ParkerPen · 01/07/2018 09:47

Just weird.

It's the least bad of the name days, because at least there's Sunny for a nickname, but it's still very strange.

Just why? There are plenty of nice names out there. Why do you have to choose a word rather than one of them?

Remember, you're naming a person, not a baby.

I love it but also like it with the spelling Sundae (which was my dogs name Grin)

ApocalypseNowt · 01/07/2018 09:48

I don't know why some days of the week are acceptable as names and some aren't but that's the way it is.

If I heard of a child called Sunday I'd assume you were a) religious or b) a bit try hard. Sorry! Blush

Itchytights · 01/07/2018 09:49

Same as Fern McCanns baby.

Can’t you think of something else?

There are so many other names...

Then again, Friday might be better? Or Thursday?

Hmm

Had to google Fearne McCann - don't do reality tv nonsense so no connection there.

No religious connection either...

Just always loved it, but do love Tuesday too :)

Made me think Nicole Kidman, Sunday Rose

TokyoSushi · 01/07/2018 09:55

No

Lweji · 01/07/2018 09:58

It will just be used on "Who's on third" or "over to Captain Over, over".

No.

Think of teenagers asking what they're doing on Sunday...

SilverySurfer · 01/07/2018 10:03

No.

Takfujuimoto · 01/07/2018 10:11

I personally love it and also Tuesday and Wednesday as names.
I meet a lovely woman from SA once, her name was Happy Sunday! She was so cheerful every time I met with her and she had such a wonderful outlook on life, she seemingly rubbed off on anyone she talked to.

HJL2506 · 01/07/2018 10:19

I do actually think it's a nice name but my first thoughts were of Ferne. But who cares 🤷‍♀️

rainingcatsanddog · 01/07/2018 10:35

I like the sound of seasonal and monthly names (April, Summer, Autumn..) and think that Sunday would be a name that I would grow to like even though at first it sounds a little weird. Monday would never be liked as a name for obvious reasons.

TatianaLarina · 01/07/2018 10:37

No

LexieLulu · 01/07/2018 10:43

I always find days weird, like if the baby was born on Wednesday would you call them Sunday?

Rizzokicks · 01/07/2018 10:49

I like it!

RedDwarves · 01/07/2018 10:58

It's fine.

But Wednesday is awesome. Wednesday Addams is the best namesake, too.

saucepotty · 01/07/2018 11:05

Why is Winter a boys name and Summer a girls name?

Guacamoledip · 01/07/2018 11:09

Winter isn’t a boys name? It’s on our list for our daughter

deptfordgirl · 01/07/2018 11:20

Reminds me of towie Fern's dd. Quite nice though.

deptfordgirl · 01/07/2018 11:20

I think Winter is unisex. I know a little boy called it.

peachypetite · 01/07/2018 11:21

Weird.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 01/07/2018 13:57

It's a big 'sleb', but nice for a middle name.
