Help[Opinions] Sunny
One more question for tonight...what is a name that could be used with the nickname of Sunny? I love the happy association that goes with it. Would names like Sunflower or Sunshine be too "hippy" or out there? If you think about it, Rose and Rain are popular and most wouldn't bat an eye at those. But Sunflower and Sunshine (similar themes) seem weird. Though, the more I say Sunflower, the more I like it. But maybe that's setting a little girl up for a hard life. Anyone know of names with the meaning of Sun or Sunflower or something like that?
I've also heard of using Sonya or Summer with the nickname of Sunny. I like these as well.
I've heard Sonya is a variation of Sophia. Would Sophia be too much of a stretch to use Sunny as a nickname?
Any other names you think of would be helpful.
Thanks!

Summer works well, and I have heard Sunny used independently. It could actually be a nn for any name, in the sense of a nickname not needing to sound similar to the given name. If you prefer to stay with the same initial, Sonia, Sophia and Sophie are all favourites of mine. Sarah and Seraphina are lovely, too. I don't know why some word names get accepted, but not others. Rose, Lily, etc are popular, but Daffodil is rare, even though it has a sound that is similar to Daphne, which many of us adore. Marigold is unusual, but usable. It just seems to be a case of social norms.

I think this is the name of the little boy that played Saroo in the movie Lion.

I think the Sunny nickname is really cute, but it's important to be careful choosing a good full name for the person to fall back on if they need to use their name in more serious or professional situations.
I've never heard it used like this, but maybe Stephany could work. Not sure if it's a stretch or not. Other than that, I can't really think of anything but some more exotic names which I don't know if you're interested in.

There's Soleil, like the kid who played Punky Brewster on TV. It's French for sun, which is sillier when you remember her full name was Soleil Moon Frye, which is Sun Moon Frye, which sounds like a Chinese restaurant menu item.
I think Sunny is rather babyish and suitable only for a dog or cat. My mother has a yellow cat named Sunny, and I used to know somebody who had a really nice yellow lab named Sunny.
I think it would be better to let a nickname like that develop naturally because of a sunny disposition. It seems contrived otherwise, and the minimal cuteness of Sunny does not justify the basid ridiculousness of Sunflower or Sunshine.
