Sonny

[DueMay2021]

This is the latest name suggestion from my OH for our little boy due in May

What's your thoughts? I'm undecided

Love it! It was on the shortlist for my son

Sorry, I think it’s awful as a given name.
Imagine an older man, being addressed as Sonny by younger people. Humiliating.
How about:
Chase
Blake
Arlo

But Chase isn’t?

I love it. The one I know is an absolute darling

I love it so much!!

Sonny seems a little bit cute for an adult (although adorable on a child!). Maybe it is one of those nn's (like Buddy) that can be used for any boys name? If not, maybe put a longer name like Sullivan or Solomon on the BC to give him more options when he's older?

I think of Sonny and Cher, and he used to mistreat her so it’s a no from me.

I don’t think I’d be able to take an adult Sonny very seriously.

Gorgeous gorgeous name. On my shortlist for sure

I love this name! Go for it! X

@DueMay2021 of course! Flynn, Jamie and Brodie were also on our list.

Quite like it but at my age makes me think of Sonny Bono who was a nasty piece of work.

Other names I feel have a similar vibe:

Milo
Arlo
Luca
Rowan
Heath
Bodhi
Jasper

How about Seth, Tristan, Spencer or Ronnie sounds similar

@Justcashnosweets Brodie is nice

@SallyCinnamon86 what else was on your list if you don't mind me asking? 🤔

I love this name. I knew a child named Sonny once and he was a shining, charismatic child. The sort of child who just entranced you. I may be influenced by this.

I love the name Sonny by the way

You seem to like the y/ie endings

How about
Vincent Vinnie
Laurence Laurie
Spencer Spennie

@FluffyEggsontoast the other name on our list is Stanley

We also considered Toby but my OH thinks it's a dogs name 😂 which could be said about a lot of names

I like it, but I’m a big Law & Order fan.

I love it!

Sidney
Lenny
Vinnie
Tommy
Billy
Freddie
Paddy

I don't like it. I used to know one whose surname was a place name. So he was called Sonny Basildon (not the real surname) which just always sounded like a description.

I quite like it but I have seen it described as ‘downmarket’ on here.

This name really polarises opinion.
I personally quite like it. I wouldn't choose it though. I like a name to sound strong on a man and Sonny sounds more cheeky and Jack the lad. I do know two child Sonnys though and they do suit their names. I don't think it will cause them any issues in life!
