[Opinions] Re: Combos for Sunny
Ooh! Ooh! (I'm back in school waving my arm in the air furiously to be called on.) I have Sunny Caroline and Sunny Aurelia as stock combos. I'm especially fond of Sunny Caroline. I picture a, well, sunny day in the state of North or South Carolina. It just sounds so happy. :-)I've loved Sunny for years, although I prefer it as a nn. I usually associate it with Alexandra, but I can easily see it as a nn for Susan / Susannah and Sunniva. Also: Sonya / Sonia / Sonja, Marisol, Soleil, Alison, etc. But yes, it can stand on its own quite nicely.

I love Sunny Caroline and Sunny Aurelia! Especially Sunny Aurelia. Oh, Aurelia brings so much power and elegance to Sunny. Sunny Caroline is very happy, and having lived in South Carolina, I totally get what you mean. =) The happy feeling is the reason why I think Sunny may be the perfect name for my hypothetical daughter. The weather today was so beautiful. Low 50s, slight breeze. I was standing outside about 1pm, sun shining on me, watching the reflection of the sky and trees in a puddle. I had a feeling of intense happiness that reminded me so much of being a child. The feeling of being outside, no agenda, just happy to be in that moment, taking pleasure in what's around you.Alexandra nn Sunny is inspired! I love Sonya/ Sonia nn Sunny, as Sonia is an old favorite of mine. Marisol is great too.

Yay!I'm not sure why, but traditionally Sunny was used as a nn for Alexandra. Tsarina Alexandra was called Sunny (although her birth name was Alix, a form of Alice, so that might not be a valid one.) But I also know of Sunny von Bulow, famous heiress whose husband was tried for her attempted (or was it actual?) murder. Her full name was Alexandra.In any event, I associate Sunny with Alexandra. Sandra --> Sandy --> Sunny? Who ever knows?I forgot one combo: Sunny Louisa. (But someone may already have suggested that one.)

I didn't know any of that before! Pretty neat. I love Sunny Louisa. Louisa has really been growing on me lately. Thanks!
