in fact, here you go

Asa is fab ... would like to use it too if DH would agree. I think in Scandinavia it has an accent on it åsa - pronounced Orsa ... great name. I also worked with a guy called Asa and it really suits him.

Sonny as in Sonny asn Cher's real name was Salvatore.

Sonny Liston was Charles, I think.

Love rudy & dp votes for it too .

I like Asa too (hadn't heard it before though) but elegant name.

Sonny I don't like. I agree with the others; doesn't sound like a proper name to me.

Asa is a girl's name isn't it? or at least it is in Sweden.

thisisyesterday · 27/02/2010 21:40

yes, you're right, as pointed out further down in the thread.
but the fact is that Sonny is the name they were known by. and gradually that has worked it's way into general usage as a name in its own right. Just as many other nicknames and diminutives have.

I have a lovely (female) friend called Asa. She is originally from Sweden. I think it is quite a common girls' name in Scandinavia.

So Seeker, DS is called Sonny. Should I have put John on the birth certificate but just called him Sonny? Does that make it any better?

By a strange quirk of fate he was either Rudy or Sonny - but poetically the sun was shining into the room as he was born and overcome by hormones Sonny won out!

Fecking fab name and even I admit far better than the Cosmo I was lobbying hard for .

Also I had an Uncle called Sonny (really Isaac), DH had a Great-Uncle called Sonny (really Nelson) and I had a huge crush on, yip you have guessed it, a Sonny (real name, Sonny)about 25 years ago. A well-established name, well certainly in this neck of the woods.

it is a girls name in sweden, but it's also a biblical boys name

houseworkhater · 27/02/2010 22:22

I don't like Sonny, think it is because it reminds me of Cher's ex.

I like both the other 2 and think Rudy goes best with Gene.
