It's pronounced with a long "o." Not slo-an!

He is a nasty butcher in Eragon and Eldest (my favorite books ever). I couldn't name my kid this, and it is ugly.

When I first read this name in novel, I thought it was the weirdest name for a girl I had ever seen. It's been a few years since then, and I had forgotten about it until it came up while I was watching tv. You know what? I rather like this name now, athough I don't know if I would want to name a child that. It seems more appropriate for the place I first read it. A novel.

I think Sloan is a strong, offbeat, fabulous name for a girl.

Ugliest name for a girl ever.

I actually really like this name. I don't know if I would put it as a first name, but definitely a middle name. It's unique, pretty, classy, and strong. Very nice name.

Sloan is Ferris' girlfriend in the amazing and classic American movie, "Ferris Bueller."

I think Sloan sounds like a male name. I cannot imagine a girl being named Sloan. That would just be terrible!

As I have ancestors with this surname, I could easily use it. I've since, however, discovered that it means "raid." and now all I can think about are insect spray commercials. I would have never considered it as a name at all, but I keep seeing it on name sites lately. I could see this on a boy as well, but I think the general consensus is that it's a girl's name.
