Nickname for a girl named Sunday

[DeepBrickFox]

Hi all,

I’m pregnant with my second daughter, due in a few weeks weeks and we’ve decided to name her Sunday. I’d love some nickname ideas that aren’t “Sunny”.

Middle name will be Victoria just as an FYI.

Thanks all!

Please consider them as an adult. And I think you've misunderstood nicknames are meant to be invented by friends/family/the person themselves. I think you mean a shorter version of the name. Which it doesn' need.

Doris, as in Doris 'day'

Sorry, am afraid that is not correct:

Monday's child is fair of face
Tuesday's child is full of grace
Wednesday's child is full of woe
Thursday's child has far to go
Friday's child is loving and giving
Saturday's child works hard for a living
But the child that is born on the Sabbath day is bonny and blithe and good and gay.

Hope you are OK @DeepBrickFox and recovering from being battered by Mumsnet. It seems a lot of people here have very old-fashioned ideas about names. They need to get hip to today's vibe, daddi-o!

As per @LauderSyme below... Blythe?

@WhereTheFuckIsMyFuckingCoat

Why would they - the school also has a little girl called Diamond, two boys called Cosmo, a boy called Bear and a twin girls name Chilli and Scout,

Cosmo is a name that's been around for centuries. Not common but definitely a name.
The rest of those examples make me wonder if the countries that have prescribed lists of names are onto something.

I've met a few Sunday's in the past - all men of African descent, or rather born there rather than generations ago. Never heard it for a girl

Knickerbocker
Or Archer (as in Archers omnibus)

How about Bellson as a 'nn', short for Bells on Sunday?
or Best - from Sunday Best.

Love it, only a few days of the week work for names, Sunday being one of them

I love Tuesday and did think to use it but had gone normal with my 2 older boys so stuck with normal

Wednesday is really only the other day option but Addams family always

I don't think it needs a nickname, if you call her by her it hopefully she will stop people calling her Sunny when she is older

No. Too similar to Belsen.

Nicknames and diminutives are not always shorter, though, and are sometimes longer...

Thomas - Tommy
James - Jimmy
Rose - Rosie, etc.

People are being such rude twats on this thread. There's really no need.
I think Sunday is a nice name, but would lean towards Sunny as a NN.

@sashh , it was a joke. A pp said Archer because The Archers omnibus is broadcast on Sundays. An early Sunday morning slot on Radio 4 is called Bells on Sunday.

I can't understand the need (trend?) to use a nickname at all.

No, not Dominga! Domingas is slang for tits in Spanish!

By the way, for what it´s worth, I like Sunday. As for short versions, it is a short name. Ignore your sister in law, or whoever the busybody was, these things come more naturally when you see what your daughter is actually like. Because calling her Sunny and then she is a woe is me person would sound weird.

Ah, I didn't know that Dominga also sounded like something less than ideal to have for a name in Spanish as well!

Sunday just reminds me of Ferne McCann shouting it out to her daughter in a god awful Essex accent. SUNDAYYYYYY

What if you call her Sunday and she's more of a Friday person?!

The issue I would have with the nickname Sunny is that it sounds masculine and like you are saying Sonny. It's yet another reason why Sunday isn't a good name for a human.

There was a thread some time ago, and it seems that there are a number of parents out there calling their daughters Sonny. No idea why; to me, it's a bit like naming your son Missy.

I could maybe come to terms with Sandé as a 'neo-name' for a girl - especially if you're a big fan of Emeli.

Depending on your accent, it might not sound very different from how you'd pronounce Sunday.

Sonny? For a girl? That's bloody awful even for a boy!

I like Sunny (for a girl) though.

Roast?

@IntermittentFarting

Sonny? For a girl? That's bloody awful even for a boy! I like Sunny (for a girl) though.

It's pronounced exactly the same though so in conversation sounds like the same name?

Yes to this.

It's no wonder bullying is a problem in schools if parents have such a mean streak.

Yes, I swear in real life. What makes it warranted?
