Comments for the name Sonny

A famous bearer of this name, is Sonny Moore, the lead vocalist in the hardcore band From First To Last.

There is a very famous and talented musician named Sonny Rollins.

Sonny Bono was an American Senator, but was better known for being the "Sonny" half of "Sonny and Cher."

The oldest son in the fictional Corleone family (The Godfather) is named Santino, but called Sonny.

This name reminds me of mobsters because of the movies A Bronx Tale and The Godfather, but it could be a nickname for Madison, Alison, Addison, Carson, Jackson, Jamison, Grayson, Emerson, Edison, Mason, Jefferson, Harrison, or any other name ending in son.

Only because of Sonny Moore and this kid named Sonny on "My Own" do I like the name. The lead singer of POD's name is also Sonny.

I was a bit surprised to see the name because Sonny sounds like a famous electronic company 'Sony'.

Sonny is Adam Sandler's character in Big Daddy. =)

Sonny is what you call a boy or a young man. I don't know how it can be a name.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor named her son Sonny.

What a ridiculous, infantile name. This shouldn't really be a nickname to begin with, but rather an affectionate word used for one's son. It's kind of like ''sweety'' and ''darling''. Just not romantic, ha ha. But how on earth could a man named Sonny be taken seriously? Okay, in the 80s, by Republicans, it apparently was. Ah well, if you can take a guy who goes by Rush seriously, I suppose anyone can be successful! This name is sheer LUNACY on girls. Come on, the term of affection itself spells it out quite clearly, don't ya think? At least spell it Sunny!

I actually like this name very much for a girl. :)

Pop singers Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Richard Jones have a son Sonny, born 23th April 2004.

Come on, Sonny is a NICKNAME, and not a very professional-sounding one! It doesn't suit a grown man at all. I don't understand why Sophie Ellis-Bextor would use this as the legal name of her son.

Sonny Munroe, Demi Lovato's character on Disney channel's "Sonny With a Chance."

To be honest if someone is willing to call their child Jayden or Rocco, which are stupid names for grown men (can you imagine a 40 year old Jayden?) then why can't they call their child Sonny, which has been round since the 1920's?

On the American soap opera General Hospital there is a character called Sonny Corinthos (not his given name, but it's the only name used for him). He's a mobster and a pretty popular character. If you're thinking of using this name but are concerned about how it would work for an adult, youtube him and see. It works pretty well for a character known for being intense and ruthless.

This was the name of my aunt's dog. Enough said.
