Is Sunday a bad girl name?

[ichiha68]

I know Sunday is an odd name and I know it’s been gaining a bit more popularity over the past year but I really like the name Sunday especially with just the meaning of like a Sunday morning kind of beauty and the nickname Sunny. I’m not too sure I’m on the fence with it due to how some people would react to naming my daughter after a day of the week?? opinions?

I think it's best to name your child for the adult they'll become and not the cute toddler they are for a year or so.

I've come across weekday names more as middle names. A lot depends on your surname.

Angelica, Celestina, Jacynth, Jonquil, Lucie, Serena have always felt Sunday-bright to me.

If I heard 'Sunday' I would think it was spelled 'Sundae' and that it was a name along the lines of Sweetie, Cherry, or Honey.

I actually don't think it's a bad name

I just think people will be further mentioned Sunday because it's a day of the week and she'll be constantly turning her head as you think 'oh that's my name they want me'

And obviously a lot of people will think it's odd naming her that

(But also some people will like it of course)

I don't hate Sunday, but Sunny is a lot to live up to when she is a scowling teen or a tantruming two year old. Not something I would like to be called myself. I knew a Serenity who was anything but.

Yes.

I like it! But then I like Summer, Autumn and January as names too. Not so much April, May or June.

The fact that you really like the name, is enough to choose that name. When I chose my childrens names I loved them and I didnt care if other ppl didn't)
I like the name Sunday, its actually a really lovely name. I named my daughter Saffiya, nothing too unusual just not heard of much. I actually think unique names are beautiful.

Monday really is an awful name

I’ve known a few people named Sunday and they’ve all been male. I wouldn’t use it for that reason.

Oh wow never heard it being used as a boys name!

The only Sunday I've known was a 50-year old Nigerian man... so a little girl would make me pause!

Also it'd be weird if she wasn't born on a Sunday, which you can't know yet!

But then I also think it's weird if someone is called say "April" but not born in April!

I know a little toddler Sunday and it’s a cute name, but probably a bit out there for me. I went for more traditional names

Yes.

I love it, but to me it is very African. Religious Nigerians. Sunday, Hope, Blessings....

Easy like Sunday morning?

I once worked with a Nigerian fella called Sunday.

Now I have 7 Days by Craig David ear-worming in my ear…

I met this girl on Monday
Took her for a drink on Tuesday
We were making love by Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday
We chilled on Sunday

If this doesn’t put you off naming your daughter Sunday then nothing will.

Manic Monday
Wish it was Sunday, cos that’s my fun day

I used to work with a woman called Friday.

i think it's cute!

Don't saddle your child with Sunday as her name

Sunday Girl was the first thing I thought of.
