I actually like the sound and the appearance of it. However, where I live (in the UK) it does have quite a down-market image which puts me off. One day we were talking about names at work for some reason and of my colleagues once said something like, "have you noticed how many kids these days have horrible chavvy names like Sienna?". Everyone else kind of shuddered as if it was the tackiest name ever so that would put me off using it for real! Shame as I think it's quite pretty.

It has a lovely sound to it and strikes me as being elegant.

Sienna's actually been on my mind a lot lately. It's one of those names I don't really want to like, but I secretly really do.It makes me think of the color, for obvious reasons. I can picture it on most age groups.

I love it, but it's a "guilty pleasure" kind of love because so many people think it's downmarket and terminally trendy. I also think of Toyotas and of Sienna Miller, but it's easier for me to move past those associations than it would be for me to use an name that people think is cheap. I'm sure that says something bad about me. I prefer Siena because it makes me think of the place and the earthiness of the pigment, and I feel it diminishes the other associations. I may be fooling myself, though. Sienna seems like such a graceful name, I picture someone tall and lean, with a lot of strength and fluidity of motion. Like an athlete or dancer.

The sound alone is pretty, but the color is not one I like, and the vibe I get from it is overly flashy, theatrical and somewhat tacky. I wouldn't be surprised if a Sienna had a sister named Scarlett and their middle names were, respectively Jade and Rose.

I like it.
I think it has a quite trendy and modern feel, and I also think of Siena the city and Sienna Miller. That doesn't bother me though.

Well, art, painting, first of all. I couldn't paint anything but a wall,however, I had an aunt who was a good amateur artist, and I remember one of the paint colours being "burnt Sienna".So-artistic, romantic, European.

Honestly all I think of is the Toyota minivan which is popular here in the US. I like the sound of the name but personally can't get past the minivan association.

I also see it as "chavvy" and trendy. In the UK it went from being not even in the top 500 at all to being ranked #22 within 13 years.

Honestly? It gives me a chavvy impression, even though I'm not British and never use the word "chavvy" IRL. I don't like it.
