Sunny

I was born jaundiced and had to be put in a UV light box for 10 days. My aunt visited me and suggested to my mom that she should name me "Sunny" because I was a baby who needed sunlight. My aunt was inspired by the song "Sunny", but not the original one by Bobby Hebb. Rather, it was the 1970s disco version performed by the German group Boney M. People who know me often tell me that my name suits my personality really well. I have a sunny disposition. I wonder whether being referred to as Sunny all my live influenced my personality.
