There are some strict rules you have to follow if you are calling it a sonata. First of all there have to be 3-4movements, and there are several other rules as well, about tempo, repetitions ect. Im not sure about all things, but try Wikipedia!

May'be I could call it (something) in F minor and invent a new kind of song. Hmm another movement would be cool! The first could be really creepy and the second Fun and more exciting plus I could do it on my brother's organ, that would be nice.
