All these plus those in the OP. Donny is hand, used when speaking to children. I used to say it to my DSs when they were little: 'C'mere, let's wash yer donnies'.

Same as youself NanKate and NannyJan53.
But iv`e always said Danny not Donny for the hands.

A word used round here (East Midlands) is 'a-were' with the emphasis very much on the second syllable. I've spelled that phonetically as I've never seen it written down. It expresses astonishment, if someone said to you, "I went to the moon yesterday" or something equally daft, you could reply, "A-were, you're making that up!"

I hadn't heard it for ages until I returned home when a nephew recalled something daft he heard. He didn't believe it and was so lost for words (pleasant, but not the most eloquent of chaps) he said, "A-were, I mean, well, um, I mean, well, um, a-were, a-were!"

I've never heard this anywhere else.

Yes Fanny donny is hand haven't heard it in a long time.

Oh that’s Cornwall

Jan does donny mean hand?
My Nan used to say it to my cousin (when he was a babby!)
I thought that she'd made it up
