Sweeney

Sweeney is one of the weirdest names out there!

What a weird name.

Awful name.

This name sounds so cutesy! I can’t imagine any male with the name Sweeney over the age 7. Unless he’s overly feminine. I can imagine this on a female. It’s absolutely feminine. Not masculine at all! This name is excessively cute, so I think it sounds better as a girl’s name and it doesn’t sound good as a boy’s name at all! While I know some feminine names that can suit a male, this one can let it ride.
I don’t think it sounds mature enough for masculine women, let alone any male. Though I agree this can be gender neutral, I would use it for a girl only!

Everyone will think of Sweeney Todd. Please avoid this.

Very cool name for a boy, very unconventional, that's a good thing sometimes. I love the story of Sweeney Todd, and for that reason I unfortunately wouldn't use it. It would make an awesome nickname though :)

I'm kind of torn on this name. Personally, I wouldn't use it on either gender, mainly because the kid will always get comments like, "Sweeney Todd? The killer barber?" Then again, I've always liked the stories on Sweeney Todd, so... yeah.

This isn't a good first name. It makes me think of the words 'sweet' and 'swine', and the ending sounds infantile and girly. Plus, the name is very surname-y, and thus pretentious as a first name.

I think this is a cute name, but not overly. I can see a man being named this.
