Re: What do you think of...
I don't love it myself, but I would totally appreciate seeing it on other people's kids.
It feels a bit pretentious, but yes, I think it is usable.
Very much boy
Sunny would be fine. I don't think it's too girly for a boy - especially because I'd spell it Sonny.
Other nicknames: Som, Somer, Somel, Mel, Merl, Erl, Sed, Solly (like Sully). I like I'd use Solly or Somel.Three boys nappin', one mama namenerdin'

Pretentious? Hmmm. I didn't get that vibe but maybe it is a bit.Ohh I love Solly!! That's totally the best nickname. Sol could work as well, and Somel is awesome. Thanks! :D

Yeah, I guess maybe I need a new word. But I think it describes what I feel - when I use it I mean that the name might come across as pretentious. Which just happens to be a type of name I tend to like.
