What does the name 
Sunny mean?

Sunny is also known in India... as it is a common nickname for names like Sunil and Sundeep.

Sunny has 5 letters 
and begins with an S

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter S is a real popular first letter for given names. That’s because 7.7% of all common frist names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters A, J and K are more common for first names.

With five letters, the name Sunny is comparatively short. In fact, 17.0% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly five letters. Only 7% of all first names are even shorter, while 75% have more than five letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.

That means that if 7.7% of all first names start with an S, this initial letter occurs more than twice as often as all 26 letters on average.
