Jack is short for John and somehow Molly is a nickname for Mary, but Adam Sandler [2] isn't abiding by the proper rules of naming even if it upsets his mother. When the funny man stopped by the Late Show with David Letterman [3] to promote his new, kid-friendly flick, Bedtime Stories [4], the daddy of two got to talking about his mother's issue with his second daughter's name, Sunny. It turns out the older Sandler thought it was more a nickname than a given one so he joked that his baby's birth certificate reads, "Sunday Night Football."
Do you think the age of proper names and nicknames has passed?
