Comments for SLOANE:
Also spelled Sloan, I can't say this name is a particular favorite of mine.-- Anonymous User 5/24/2006
I think that this is a rather interesting name, though I am leaning a little more towards its feminine usage, as opposed to its more popular masculine. Its meaning is quite intriguing as well.-- Pheadirean 6/26/2006
Sloane is Ferris Bueller's girlfriend in the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off.-- trayc53 8/12/2006
Maybe if the parents have a particular fondness of Sloane Square in London.-- Anonymous User 12/19/2006
Why would anyone use this pretentious, elitist-sounding, very surname-y, and clearly masculine name on their daughter? It's not a cool name even for tomboys, androgynous girls and women, or the unconventional female indie types. This would be better preserved as a surname.-- slight night shiver 5/7/2008
Quite possibly the ugliest and most wretched surname I've ever had the misfortune of hearing. This surname makes Madison and Campbell on girls' look halfway decent. Truly ugly.-- Anonymous User 6/9/2008
The name Sloane reminds me of a slug. It's horrible. I can't imagine it as a name any better than I could imagine szpdoiuv904 as a name. It also sounds like a derogatory slang verb like, "She just got Sloane". So bad verb, bad sound, bad name.-- Ursa_Minor 3/28/2009
Sloane is also a male name.-- Anonymous User 7/15/2009
Okay, there are some "surname" names like Madison, Makenna (from McKenna), or Mackenzie, that I can imagine on a person. But Sloan/Sloane should STAY a last name! It sounds horrible--the first time I heard it as a girl's name was in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", and it just sounded so pretentious and ugly! (Ferris sounds really pretentious, too--at least Cameron sounds cool.)-- erb816 7/25/2009
It's so unbearably ugly I think I shall start using it as a synonym for foul or rank.
I know we all have differing tastes but heck it sounds like something you'd step in at a garbage dump.-- Anonymous User 8/4/2009
My name is Sloane. I am a woman, and I find the comments on here particularly offensive. When people ask what my name is they always say, "what a pretty name!" Not that it reminds them of a slug or a dump.-- Anonymous User 8/6/2009
I've recently come to like this name very much. I think it's a very pretty name. I also think that it could work for a boy's name too. I'm not being sexist or anything but when I think about the meaning "raid", I would think more about men.-- lil_bri_11 11/22/2009
There's a character in the TV show "Entourage" named Sloane. She was Eric's girlfriend.
In other news, I do not care for this name. It is boring, like the word "slow". It also seems pretentious, maybe because it's a surname.-- emily 12/22/2009
Sloane Crosley is a best-selling novelist.-- _0TophasNails_1 6/12/2010
Wow this is one of the ugliest names I've heard for a girl in a long time. I can't fathom what a parent could find remotely attractive about it to give to a little girl. It makes a name like Beulah seem beautiful by comparison.-- Anonymous User 5/14/2011
I can't believe someone would name a girl Sloane or Sloan! It sounds very masculine and rugged. Surnames usually make better names for boys than girls and this one should certainly be for a boy.-- GibsonGirl 8/22/2011
I've read a lot of negative comments on this name, and I have to wonder how people can get so repulsed by it. Even if you dislike the name, comparing it to a "slug" or "dump" is just unfathomably rude. Personally, I think the name Sloane is lovely for a girl. I know someone named Sloane and I always thought how cool it was that she had a unique name. I associate the name with a girl who is kind, beautiful and artistic.-- Anonymous User 12/30/2011
