I know a lot of Sonya's that use this as a nickname. Sonya--->Sonny which is often pronounced as Sunny.

I named my cat Sunny after Sunny Baudelaire in Lemony Snicket's "A Series of Unfortunate Events" because from the day that I got her, she always liked to bite.

Sunny is one of the main characters in Jean Ferris' novel Love Among The Walnuts. She's a cheerful nurse who takes care of the main character's parents in their isolated house--and before long, she and the main character fall in love.

Sunny was also the name of one of Dawn Schaeffer's California friends in Ann M. Martin's Babysitters Club book series. Sunny's full name was Sunshine Daydream Winslow, and she was the daughter of hippies.

I don't understand why anyone would name their kid this.

It's really cute, though a bit hippy.

Nice and funny for a little girl, but what when you're a grown up woman? I couldn't imagine a 40 year old woman named Sunny.

My friend was named Sarah, but she hated her name and nicknamed herself Sunny. Sunny fits her much better--she's bright, creative and always smiling.

I'm surprised that this name isn't used all that much. You could also spell this name like Sunnie or Sunni.

Could also be a nickname for Alexander / Alexandra, or Lysander / Lysandra.

This is a cute name.

This name is cute as a nickname, but almost too cute for a regular name. It seems like it would be a good nickname for Susan.

This name is quite infantile on any person, even a child. You should pick something dignified, mature, and more sophistictaed, something the person won't be ashamed to tell others when she goes to a new school, applies for jobs, etc. A boy named Sunny would probably be bullied to death, and quite literally too. If you must use this name, use it as a middle name, or have DECENT middle names the person can go by, NOT something like Summer and Skye, as they would create the tacky name Sunny Summer Skye. Very corny.

This is such a beautiful nickname for a cute, funny, bright baby girl.

Makes me think of the Bobby Hebb song "Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain" - beautiful song.

It might sound weird, but my MALE cousin has the name "Sunny." And he refuses nicknames. I think it's a nice name, but it sounds rather weird to me, on a girl now. Which is sad, because Sunny is a nice name.

For everyone who said this name sounds too young I have a aunt from Korea who is 45 named Sunny and it fits her too, she is always bright and cheerful.

Sunny Baudelaire is an awesome character, and this name works great as a middle name. Just not complex or mature enough for a first name. And as mentioned above, it would be VERY corny with other nature names.
-- Kerules  6/14/2009
Sunny sounds very corny as a name, and it will lead to big problems throughout life.
-- bananarama  10/5/2009
It is the name of the main character in Lori Wick's book of the Kensington Chronicles "The Hawk and the Jewel". It's a real beautiful name, plus I think actually very original. I absolutely adore this name.
-- MeMyselfAndEye  2/20/2010
Urrgh. This name bugs me just like Happy. Blech.

I'm changing my name to this. I am 25 years old and it totally fits my personality. I can't stand my first name, it's very common, nobody ever spells it right, and I always have to double check that whoever calls out my name is looking for me. But how many times to you run across somebody named Sunny!

It also reminds me of Sonny, which is what they called my half-brother's great uncle. They always speak about Sonny with great respect and honor. Everyone had fond memories of him.

I think it's the person that gives the impression of a name. I could be a really great Sunny and leave smiles on the faces of all those I meet. I can't wait for the day I get it legally changed.

And for those saying this name can't be taken seriously, perhaps using the name Sunshine as a full name and Sunny as a nickname could help with that problem.

Sunny (Sun-nee / sun-ni)

Sunny is a lovely girls name. Its on my list if i ever have a girl
The male version Sonny, i do not like. I think Sunny is a very girly name even though it has been a boys name for longer. I just dont think it sounds very manly at all :-\
It makes me think of sunlight, sunshine, sun set, sun rise. A lovely cute girly girls name.
