I pronounce them the same. I think of Sonny for a boy and Sunny for a girl. I like Sunny.

I love both, for both sexes but prefer Sunny because of a book character with this spelling, plus I could use it as a nn for Sunday (boy) or Sunniva (girl)alice x

I would pronounce them the same.
Sonny is a boy's name, IMO, and Sunny a girl's, but even then only as a nn.

I pronounce them the same, but Sonny is more a boy's name and Sunny a girl's name IMO. :) I like Sunny, but not Sonny.Sarah

I pronounce both names the same. I like the names, they are kinda cute. I like Sonny for a boy and Sunny for a girl. As far as I'm concerned I think Sonny can only be used for a boy.

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!

I pronounce them the same
No I personally dont like them especially Sonny, its okay as a nickname I suppose, but as a given name its horrible,its as bad as Missy and Precious far too cutsy and a bit well weird in a - I dont want my baby to ever grow up sort of way
Sunny isnt quite so bad but it too is a bit too nicknamey for me
Sonny is definately male, Sunny could be either
