In HP Moony is the nickname of Remus Lupin.Moony is a word in English and it is used to describe something that looks like the moon. However, it isn't still in use. Still, this is a more standard way for adjectives to be formed in English.So, the real question is why does "sunny" mean brightly lit with sunlight instead of something that is like the sun? I don't know. Sorry I wasn't more help, D

Although they don't say it in the film, in the book it is revealed that Moony is Remus Lupin, Padfoot is Sirius Black, Prongs is James Potter I, and Wormtail is Peter Pettigrew.
Remus Lupin told Harry, although Harry kind of worked it out as his patronus was a stag. But Lupin said that Padfoot was Sirius, Moony was Lupin himself and Wormtail was Peter Pettigrew, leaving Prongs to be James.
