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!

Hey OP it's OK to like a name lots of other people are not keen on (me too, I have seen lots of people say how much they hate the name we gave our DD; I still love it tho) but I guess you have to be prepared for comments like you're getting here. Tho as a PP says, in RL people may say them in their heads!

Can you articulate why you want a shorter version of the name? It's not so long and complex that you won't be able to write it or say it, so I would say just call her and refer to her as Sunday?

I think if you call your child Thomas or Frederick or Daniel then you have to expect Tom and Freddie and Dan - and be OK with that (from others I mean).

I don't think there is an obvious shortening to Sunday apart from Sunny or Sun (which is what I immediately thought of - then saw your are not keen). If you like the name why shorten it? My ds1 has a name no one ever shortens and that's all fine.

Icecream?

Seriously, Sunny is the only likely choice, if you don't keep it as the full name.

It's usual to get some stick on MN for calling your kid sundae sorry Sunday and then asking for nicknames for what is for many, the worst day of the week.

I love the name Sunday, and it's got so many really lovely associates, like Blondie's Sunday Girl, and Seurat's Sunday Afternoon on La Grande Jatte, and the Sondheim musical that painting inspired - and so much more.

This is a tall order OP. I keep thinking Undies.

Tori

Tawny (inspired by Torn Asunder!)

Bonnie? As in "the child that is born on the Sabbath day is bonnie and bright and good and gay". Yes I know that last word has dated😊

Mass. Body positive and all that.

Bonnie... or blithe as in "the child that is born on the sabbath day, is Bonny and blithe and good..."

You do realise that babies grow up to be adults don’t you?

A cute baby called Sunday is one thing, but a 35 year old woman called Sunday is ridiculous.

Why on earth would you do it?

Yorkie?
Beefy?
Gravy?

Sunday best

It's an awful name - the only person I've known to call their baby Sunday is Ferne McCann and she is awful and the child is a brat.

If Sunday is too long for you to manage then maybe call her Ann.

Honestly I’m not desperate for a shortened version, I like it as it is. But as I mentioned on a previous post I have a DSIL who has form for dishing out nicknames. Obviously I can’t try and enforce the full name (and I will) but I just know she will shorten it anyway, so was hoping to have something I liked that I could at least try and steer her towards!

With Sunday as a name, yes!

Just use the full name all the time. Despite what I said in my post, I actually know a Thomas who is always referred to as Thomas by his family, so that's how I think of him.

She would probably end up being Days in our house, or just Sund but I'd much prefer Days

This is what aunts and uncles do. It's in the job description. DD's call her Pants. She's mid 20s now.

Sunday, Monday, Happy Days?

Sh*t no I didn’t realise that?! Knock me down with a feather, I thought they stayed babies forever.

How do you know what will be ridiculous in 35 years? Not that long along people were naming tiny babies things like Gary, Norma and Fanny.

Sunsy
Sunna
Sol

Domenica, Dominga, Dominique, De Domhnaigh

What's wrong with Fanny? I think it's a fab name. For someone having a whinge about hating on a name.......

With respect, Gary & Norma are a heck of a lot better than Sundae.

Ignore them OP. I quite like the name Sunday. I think it’s very sweet and perfectly fine for an adult

I don’t have any name suggestions but just wanted to say that I think Sunday is a great name!
