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!

Nicknames usually just happen naturally. I knew an April who got nicknamed June and a Rainbow (hippy parents, all the kids had unusual names) who went by Bethan

In my school days Sunday would have gone by Monday or something else equally ridiculous. But if you love the name then who cares.

Thanks to everyone who has chipped in with helpful suggestions/responses. That’s exactly what I was after and I appreciate those of you who have taken the time to give me ideas.

Honestly I’m slightly baffled by how much negativity this has caused. A lot of you having very bad days it would seem, I’m glad you’ve found a place to take your frustrations out. I’m sure you and your children all have perfect names and I’m thrilled for you.

Regardless I’ve had my fill of miserable spiteful comments so I’m logging out.

Honestly I think people on this thread are really underestimating what counts as a normal name nowadays. We live in a very standard town and DS's classmates have named from many different cultures, some invented names, some noun names like Bear, Winter, Jupiter. It doesn't matter one jot to kids. DS thought it was funny when I told him there is a city called Florence ("like Florence at nursery!") But it was because the city is named after the friend in his mind - and he very quickly understood that some words have meanings and are names. Sunday wouldn't raise an eyebrow, kids don't care and they'll grow up into adults who also don't care.

I absolutely hate my name to the point I can't stand hearing people say it, and it's a perfectly normal recognisable name. It's no indication of what they'll like.

Sundays child is full of grace. Maybe Gracie or Grace.

Sunday is a gorgeous name Op I really like it (I also like Tuesday as a name)

I love the idea of Day sie (daisy) as a nm

I think Sunny is cute so I don't mind it that much. but I realise you are not keen

I actually disagree that nms are inevitable I have 4 children 3 with names that are easily shortened and they are all called by their full name. (last one has an Irish name so less issue with shortening more issue with pronunciation )

I hope you haven't been put off of the name OP. My DC all have quite unusual names and DD's class is full of unusual names.

OP. MN will give you an honest opinion. Whether you want to hear it or not, MN is like that one friend who will always tell you exactly how it is and so you don't go to for advice if you're feeling sensitive about it.

NN wise I agree with pisters who have said NN will evolve. My DS2 has a nickname that is nothing like his actual name but came from a girl in his nursery that couldn't say his actual name and it stuck like glue. He's almost 13. If you don't like Sunny, maybe Dee-dee?

I have to say though, agree with a PP who mentioned about the endless questions about what day of the week she was born on. People mean well but they will ask stupid questions or pass stupid comments. My middle name is something mildly festive. I'm named after a relative whose middle name was very old fashioned (think Fanny, Deirdre, Doris kind of thing) and DM couldn't bear to use it so she came up with the first name she could think of that began with the same letter. At least once a year I get asked if I was a Christmas baby - my birthday is in the summer.

What about sunshine as a nn

Papers?

I doubt there are many people who remember what day of the week they were born on. I'd say even their parents don't remember.

Sunz- just as Lorraine gets called Loz.

😂

What is wrong with swearing?

I love the name and am gobsmacked people would be so nasty.

My mum decided on a nick name (sorry to the previous poster who is absolutely infuriated by the misuse of this word...) for me, to prevent a common nickname she didn't want. My brother was getting a shortened version and for both of us she just made sure to correct people. If you're happy with Sunday it's OK to just correct people until they get the hint.

Monday is a terrible name. No-one looks forward to seeing Monday. Friday would be much better..at least they would say "thank god, it's Friday".

I don’t think it’s any better or worse on a baby than an adult. It’s not a kind of name that’s particularly babyish or cute.

I think it's lovely, really pretty and a cool name to have when she's older.
For the person who mentioned the sitcom "Happy Days" it first aired in the early seventies so not exactly contemporary reference.🤷‍♀️

I like Sunday as a name. I also like Sunny.

You could call her Sunz as nn or Dayday. Or see if one of the little kids of the family says it in a cute way. That's how my DD got her pet name.

I like Sunny.

🤣

How about:
Morning
Eve (short for evening)
School
Tea
Or Easter?

Daisy from the ‘day’ at the end

I was known as my initials as a kid, JJ they stayed the same after marriage but only my dad calls me it now.

my son is often called EJ as well.

I guess S isn’t the easiest letter to pair with unless your surname starts with C, E, T, U,

Wendy (weekendy)
