Sonny

[iloveyoubutilovememore]

Thoughts?

My favourite uncle was called this - I like it.

My nephew is a sonny, at first I was but now I love it, he's such a sweet and happy boy and it really suits him.

Big yes from me. Unusual and cute. I liked both this and Sol for DS but DP refused

Would a 50 year old man really want to be called Sonny?

he's such a sweet and happy boy and it really suits him

But what about when he's a grumpy old man?

It's a silly nickname. Ludicrous on an adult.

Prefer Sonny to Sonni.

But really don’t like either as a forename -as a PP said, it’s cute on a very young child but (to my ears) faintly ridiculous for a grown man.

It's alright for a toddler, but I don't think it works well for an adult.

Meant to add:

Given it’s cute on a young child, it’d make an adorable nickname.

Makes me think of a Walkman.

Lovely name x

Needs the middle name "Jim" of course.

My last dog was called Sunny, would have possibly used it for a child’s name if I hadn’t used it first for the dog.

Sonni is even worse. Silly name with idiotic spelling.

Children with these types of name can be memorable for the wrong reasons.

The naughtiest child I ever met, now completely off the rails as a teen is called Sonny.

I think it's cute for a toddler but don't think it works for a teen or adult.

The only Sonny I know isn't 'sunny' at all - rather miserable in fact.

Terrible.

Sorry, it's a big no from me.

It makes me think of the expression 'alright son?'

Appalling, and demeaning and humiliating for your child, teenager, 50-something, etc. Use it as a nickname.

Absolutely LOVE it, right under Rudy as our second choice if we have a boy next week!! 😊

Love

I like it.

Bloody awful.

Fine as a nickname for a young boy; cringeworthy as the real, official actual name of a grown man.
