Sonny as a middle name?

[horsechesnut]

Hi all. What are your thoughts on the name Sonny as a middle name? What kind of impression does the name make, how does it sound etc. Thanks!

I knew a Sonnie

not my taste, but nice enough and not laughable

we know two Sonny's as first names - one is 14 and one is 2. It really suits them both!

The 14 is very cool and trendy, the 2 year old is just little and cute!

They are both boys

mmm... I actually think it is laughable. Like the boy equivalent of those 'Boo' type middle names for girls. Or something Jordan might call her next child in the vein of Princess and Junior.

IMO it sounds like a nickname but not a full name.

(again) I agree with diplodoris.
IMVHO - second names are an opportunity to honour or remember someone - friend, relative, historical figure you admire

Love it!

My dd has Sunny as a middle name

My DH wanted to call my first born Sonny after Sonny Crockett, Miami Vice. But it was a DD. I wasn't keen, but if you like then that will do.

I like it - I have always liked Sunshine for a middle name though!

Samson means "sun" and could have the nickname Sonny.

I'd prefer Sunny to Sonny.

Sonny unfortunately reminds me of Sonny and Cher (and he was not a nice man)

I like it - spelt Sonny!

I love the name Sonny, but I am biased as my DS3 is called Sonny!! We did give him the 'sensible' middle name of Benjamin which I love just as much!! Whether it would be right as a middle name I don't know, I suppose it depends on the 1st name and whether they sound good together.

My DP wanted DS to be Sonny...I have never liked it though!!

Love the name Sonny.
