Comments for the name Sierra

Comments for SIERRA:

This is a beautiful and unique name! But I'd like to spell it Cierrah.

Sierra is a beautiful and unique name. People who have this name are fiercely protective of the people that they love. Friendship is held in high regard, and betrayal cuts deep. They like to be respected, and most of all, they like to be loved.

This is a beautiful name. I like the Romani spelling of it (Syierra). It looks so odd but cool.

It's beautiful. I love that name. It's very unique. I love it.

This is such a beautiful name. Pretty and elegant, rolls off the tongue nicely and not an overly popular name.

I much prefer this spelling to Ciera. And I'd imagine people find the way it's spelt easier to pronounce, what with all of the Keira's and Kiera's and Ciara's about. :)

Are we all forgetting that Country Sierra Leone?

This is one of my all time favorite names besides Sophia! I like the combo Sierra Kate.

To all those people above who said that Sierra was a "unique" name, listen to this: 2,416 baby girls named Sierra were born in 2006, making it the 141 most popular name for girls that year, and that's not counting all the Ciaras (1,582) and Cierras (514). It is not a unique name, people!

I don't like it. It makes me think of Sierra Leone, which I've heard is a very poor country. I don't find it very pretty either.

This is one of my least favorite names of all. I definitely would not want to go through life being named after a mountain range. I remember the first time I heard this name as a child, and I made fun of it.

I think this "name" is white trash. And don't get me started on the misspellings. I really hate it. Choose something else.

Please consider the feelings of the people who have this name, it's my name, my mother proudly gave it to me, I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world, it describes a person who is tough, yet beautiful, they can be elegant, they are always caring and loving, even toward an enemy, and would do anything for friends or family, please do not call my name white trash, I assure you it's not.
-- Curlytop78  6/16/2009
This name is not "white trash." To bananarama: you seem to use the term "white trash" to describe many names. This is racist and if I were you I'd work on that.

I'm not a big fan of this name it makes me think of Sierra Mist, you know the soda. And this little girl my sister used to play with. Personally I like the 's' spelling better than the 'c' spelling but I've never been a fan of weird spellings (the exception being Gillian and Jillian I like both versions fine.)

"Sierra" is also the code word for the letter "S" in the NATO phonetic alphabet.

You people who think this name's ugly, you need to back off! This is my name, and I'm nothing like what most of you have said.
-- Anonymous User  4/25/2009
I like the way this name is pronounced, it's nice to say and it doesn't sound frilly. The meaning (mountain range) would and should be very appreciated by any of the bearers of this name. It means you're tough but beautiful, as are mountains. I have a good friend called Sierra - whom I would rather have as more than a friend but never mind that - and it suits her personality perfectly. This name is very beautiful, definitely my favorite.

I love it, gives me a strong and independent feeling. Which is precisely what a woman should be!
-- Rain_In_Night  11/21/2009
This name is amazing. It's my best friends name so anybody who has this name is totally cool, but not as cool as her. I had to talk myself out of not putting this comment under "famous bearer' you know you are all jealous.

Lol. But in all seriousness, it's a pretty cool name, especially with the middle name Rain, and I'm not just saying this because it's my friend's name!

Sierra Boggess is an actress known for her parts in theatre productions such as Phantom of the Opera, The Little Mermaid, and Love Never Dies.
-- AmandaLeigh88  2/26/2011
The meaning is neat--like the Sierras. But I don't really like the name.
-- Joy12  5/7/2011
I absolutely love this name, of course, since it is my name! It's a strong, independent, beautiful name. No one at my school has this name and I think I've only met one other Sierra in my life. My name also means, "nature's beauty", and for all you out there calling my name "white trash", well, you can all back off because I am very proud of having this name. I love being a Sierra!

The first thought that enters into the abyss of my mind, is that of the United States lemon-lime soft drink "Sierra Mist," by PepsiCo. (Outside of the country, you may know it as 7-Up-- which we also have.)

Having said that... posters above: you are not in the right to dictate what people say of 'your' name. A large purpose for BehindTheName's existence is to share personal opinions-- to give insight to potential parents regarding what their son or daughter may face.
Each one of us is in possession of a name, and each one of us have read both splendid and less-than-amusing comments; that is how it goes; either build a mental resistance or give a wide berth.

Personally, I despise the name "Sierra." I merely feel that it is very default, very generic... it greatly lacks professional qualities, as well as being pretentious-, pompous-, uneducated-, and infantile-sounding. It is terribly pageant-baby-- certainly not the definition of brains.
The manic accumulation of spelling-variants cannot save "Sierra," for it is neither attractive to the eye or to the ear.

Sierra is the name of an Active in the tv series Dollhouse by Joss Whedon. Her real name is Priya Tsetsang and she is named after the code for the letter S in the NATO phonetic alphabet.
