Re: Sonny vs Sunny
in reply to a message by Miss Claire
I pronounce them the same, yes.
Sonny is only masculine to me (it's an elaboration of the common term of affectionate address "son"), but Sunny can be unisex (since both boys and girls can have a sunny personality).
I don't particularly care for the names. But I prefer both names as nns, though Sunny is more tolerable as an actual given name to me. The only risk would be that a child named Sunny at birth would turn out to be a morbid depressive!
