People will love and hate every name for their own reasons @Newmum110. The important thing is if you like it. A similar name to Sonny is Sully/Sullivan which I like but loads of people just say monsters inc!

@Kanaloa yes that is true, I'm just surprised so many people feel so strongly about a name that will have no impact on them. There are a lot of names I hear that I think not for me but wouldn't think things like that's not a real name etc. Now I do know the OP did come on looking for opinions so people are only answering the question asked, I'm just surprised with the level of dislike for Sonny!!!!!!

Sorry, but what young man wants to be called Sonny at 23? Joel is lovely.

Joel or Isaac. Don’t like Sonny at all.

I love Isaac

Isaac

Sonny is my favourite. It seems very marmite! I was glad I didn't call it my little boy though, he was the grumpiest screamy baby ever. Definitely not sunny 😅

There's nothing wrong with Sonny at all imo! It's a name I've heard on men of all ages. Possibly as a NN for something else, but there are plenty of nicknamey names around these days.

It's way better than Teddy imo and Joel for that matter (personal taste etc).

Isaac is still my favourite and it's less controversial.
