HelpRe: Sloan/e
in reply to a message by bex
I used to hate Sloane with a passion (as a female name), ever since I first heard it in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." It just seemed so... pretentious, even more than one of those really long Latin or Ancient Greek names. I can't really pinpoint when I started to think of Sloane as a really cool name, but eventually I did. It makes me think of high-powered lawyers.
That all said, I'm having trouble seeing Sloan as a masculine name because I've imagined it so long as female (in large part due to the John Hughes movie). It's strange, because similar-sounding names like Morgan and Rowan are strictly masculine to me.
I suppose Alexander, Andrew, Benedict, Cameron, Evan / Evander, Farrell (too close to Ferris?), Finlay / Finley, Gregory, Henry, Isaac / Isaiah, Oliver, Vincent, William, or Xavier could be middle names.
Please rate my personal short name lists (the latter includes combos):
