Although it didn't stick as the official canon, the first draft of Sega of America's Sonic the Hedgehog Bible gave the famous speedster this as his birth name. This draft also gave his birthplace as Hardy, Nebraska.
Skrillex, a electronic musician, was born Sonny John Moore.

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.
