What could "Sunny" be a nickname for?

almostjennifer · August 2011

I think Sunny is such a cute nickname for a little girl, but I don't like it as a real name. What names could it be a nickname for?

Thanks.

If she's a super happy child you can call her Sunny no matter what her first name is.

Summer is the only name that comes to mind that warrants "Sunny"

Nicole Kidman's daughter is Sunday. That would work.

I like this idea. Example: My DD is Bronwyn, but her nn is Tink which she acquired when she was about 2 because she is sassy just like the Disney fairy, Tinkerbell!

I know an Allison with a nickname Sunny.

Someone at my college goes by "Sunny" and her name is "Sunedara." I think it's pretty, but it doesn't pass my litmus test of "will the substitute teacher mispronounce it?"

There was a girl on the Biggest Loser show with the name Sunshine (I think)

Allison, Madison... names that end with a "son" would probably work out fine.

I know a Sunshine who is often called Sunny. I think her parents were hippies in the 70s. That may not be what you're going for.

I knew a Sonya whose nn was Sunny.

I agree with PP, Sunny can be a nickname that isn't attached to a name at all. I know plenty of people that have nicknames that have nothing to do with their actual name. I knew a Sunny and that was just her name - I wouldn't go that route though.

Sunny is really cute nn by the way
