Is it really bad that I am starting to like the name Sunny for a girl? Is it usable? Any combo ideas?

Thank you.

I don't like it and I don't think it's useable. Maybe you could use it as a nickname for Sunniva?

I adore Sunny, it's one of my biggest guilty pleasure names. I personally would use Summer with the nickname Sunny. I think it's adorable and sweet and pretty and very usuable, just not my aesthetic.

nah it's totally cute. I know one a year younger than me, she's never had any trouble.

One of the only combos I like is Sunny Benjamine.

I know a Sarah who goes by Sunny since Sarah is so incredibly common. It fits her amazingly well. I think the right person can pull it off, but it might be better to have a more serious name to fall back on.

I don't care for it as a full name, but I think it would be fine as a nickname for Sunniva, Sunday, or even Susannah / Susanna. It also could work as a nickname for something that doesn't even sound like Sunny or start with a "S."

I think the last Tsarina Alexandra was nicknamed Sunny. But don't take my word on that.

I think 'wordy' nicknames like Sunny, Peanut, or whatever come naturally from any name. It could be Isabel Rachel 'Sunny' for all I cared, I wouldn't ask questions.

As for a full name, you could pull it off with the right attitude. Some might comment on it as cheesy and isnt to everyone's tastes but it is do-able.

The last Tsarina Alexandra was called Sunny as a child, but not as an adult. The story goes that she lost her sunny nature when, at the age of six, she lost her mother to diptheria. Certainly in all childhood pictures of her she looks exceedingly serious.

Sunny von Bulow's real name was

Martha. She was given the nickname because of her cheery nature. So Sunny can for sure be used as a nickname for any name.

I think it's silly. And none too feminine, given that it's a homonym for Sonny, as in Sonny Bono.

I know a girl named Sunny, she's 19 and hasn't had any problems with it as a name. I think it's usable.

It's got a great happy feel to it, and I like the song 'Sunny'. But it does sound exactly the same as Sonny.

I think it's nice as a nickname, e.g. Sunniva "Sunny", but insubstantial for a full name.

is not bad, is good

I love the name Sunny. Totally usable.

My fave combo is Sunny Kristina, but that has mega grandé meaning for me.

It's a cute nn but I find it really cheesy and childish as a full name.

I don't think it's bad that you are starting to like the name Sunny. I really like it. It's slightly usable -- if Kaitlynne and Serenity are usable, then this is. It's a bit childish, however.

This one is difficult for combos, though.
