HelpSloane.
in reply to a message by G
I used to hate Sloane (as a female name - I don't find it masculine). Ever since I heard it the first time in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," where it's the name of Ferris' girlfriend, I thought the name was almost more pretentious than Ferris. I felt like only an elitist would curse their daughter with such a harsh one-syllable surname-as-first-name.
I can't explain how Sloane grew on me, but she did. While I don't think I'd use the name in real life, I would definitely name a character Sloane - like the daughter of a high-powered single-mom lawyer. Still don't like Ferris, though.
A name I used to love, but now dislike? Aurora. The idea is beautiful, but then I realized how dang difficult it is to say - all the 'r' sounds run into each other.
Please rate my personal short name lists (the latter includes combos):
