[Opinions] Re: Sunny
in reply to a message by laurasaurus
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.
