I think it's a beautiful name. My niece is called it and it's a nice name to hear when called.

It's pretty popular here, and generally. I know of four or more at least. It's ok, not really my own taste. I think of the artist colour first, though, a muddy/red brown

I'm not a massive fan, Sienna the name of a not particularly attractive shade of yellowy/brown.

All the Sienna's I've come across are 5 and under. There are a few.

5YO DD has a friend Sienna - I like it, but wouldn't choose it myself.

Hadn't really thought about the meaning to much! Just liked the name more importantly so does dh and we can't agree on anything !!!!!

I wish I could have had Sienna but there are 3 in our small village. And one of them is not from a pleasant set of parents... their other child has THE WORST name ever and it drags Sienna down Sad

But seeing as how I now can't use it, you are welcome Smile

Always reminds me of senna, the laxative, if I'm honest. But I am only one person. And I've got a bit of a reputation for making weird and tenuous word associations.

It's one of those Euro sounding names like Amelie that suddenly became hugely popular. It's nice enough though.

The gorgeous city of Siena is a nice link.

I know one called Siena as her father is Italian so it is very much after the city not the colour Sienna, I know a couple of those too though, I like it.

I quite like it. I know 3 - Two Siennas and a Siena. All aged 4. Quite popular but if that doesn't bother you, it's a nice enough name.

Middle names? The Siena is a Siena Mae. Not sure about the others.

I love Sienna, it's a beautiful name that rolls off the tongue.

If you can't think of a middle name, don't have one. It's not compulsory!

I love the name sienna, if I didn't have a friend's child with the same name is use it myself. My partner also liked Tia-Lee and Siarra as substitutes

Love Siena, would spell it the Italian way with one N though so it's clear it's named after the beautiful city of Siena. We know a few Siennas though so unfortunately it's not on my list.

I was thinking that with one n! We really like it and now on to middle names!!!

Just bear in mind that the mum of Siena we know usually has to correct the spelling - most people presume it's with 2 n's as that is much more popular. But that might not concern you and if you love it, go for it!
