Comments for the name Cher

Famous Bearer: Actress and Singer Cher (born May 20, 1946 as Cherilyn Sarkisian).

This name is also a nickname. My grandparents call me this all the time. They speak very fluent Cajun French and in it, 'Cher' (along in regular French)means 'love' or 'dear'. This name I've rarely seen given to girls though, and, like I said, the only time I've ever heard it was to me by my grandparents.

The main characer of the 1990's movie "Clueless" is named Cher Horowitz.

It sounds very incomplete, and it would immediately bring to mind the ghastly singer Cher and her hideous music.

If there was ever a one-person name...

This name will probably be associated with the singer for a significant amount of time. I wouldn't recommend it on a real child, especially as a legal name. I don't find anything wrong with Cher, but when a famous person is known by only one name, that name becomes associated with them.

Cher Degré is a character in the anime "Wolf's Rain". She was married to Hubb Lebowski and they divorced. By the end of the storyline, they fall in love again!

When I think of Cher, I think of this wonderful character! she was very sweet, yet stubborn but helped the wolves in their journey to find Paradise!

Cher Lloyd came 4th in the last series of the X Factor (UK version).

My name is Cher. I wasn't however named after the singer, I was named after my mum who is called Cheryl. I love my name and I love how unique it is. I have had no problems with it and I love it very much :)
