The story behind Sunni DiElmo’s name is an interesting one.

“If I was a boy, my name was going to be Sunny,” said the Pinelands Regional senior. “My grandpa, whose name was Casmino, worked at a barbershop and always went by Sunny, so my parents were going to name me after him. But I was a girl, and I think at one point my parents were considering Georgia or something like that. Eventually, they just named me after my grandpa, but with an I at the end.”
