HelpRe: Sunny - Sunrise, Sunset, Sunshine, Sunflower
in reply to a message by Amandine
None of these really feel like names, they're almost 'cliche silly-hippy names' (eyeroll at that concept)... as silly as that concept that is, I think these names are quite quintessential of it. I would feel bad for someone called Sunrise being taken seriously, even if we live in a more accepting modern world. Some people will always have an unconscious bias against names like that.
If you like Sunny, just use it. Accept that it's not serious. Don't use what is simply a longer, even less serious name, just to use Sunny as a nickname, I don't think that makes sense. Sunny (nickname) is less eye-roll inducing than Sunrise (full name).
If you want it to be a light hearted nickname, use a "serious" full name. For example, Susan or Sarah or Sunniva and use "Sunny"... I'm not sure what would work and how much you could stretch the names to fit the nickname, but it'd definitely be better than a more obvious but less name-y name.
