(46 Posts)Evening all, my mum passed away a couple of years ago and her name was Sally. I like the name but not on its own, I would like to pair it with another name but can't get beyond adapt-Rose (which I know is notorious for being a fluff filler name)
Would appreciate some ideas
Thanks
Sally Ann is probably the classic, but is perhaps not thrilling. Could Sally be a middle name instead?
Sally-Anne
Sally-Anna
Sally-Marie
Sorry should have read Sally-Rose in my post,
I thought if it as a middle name but didn't really find it went with much as a second name
Hmm I suppose you could use Sarah? Or did your mum have a middle name you could use?
Sally-Faye
Sally Mai
Sally Alexandra
Sally Charlotte
Sally go round the sun
Sally go round the moon
Sally go round the chimney pot
On a Sunday afternoon
Whooooo !
[Old rhyme sung to me in childhood by my grandfather's auntie ]
Sally-Marie
Sally-April
Sally-Georgina
Sally-Jayne
Sally-Eve
Sally-Faith
Sally-Joy
Sally-Wren
Sally-Ivy
Sally-Iris
But honestly, I think Sally is nice on its own and I'd probably go for that. Or go for your favourite first name with Sally as a middle name.
Sally-Celeste
Sarah. Sally for everyday?
I like Sally on its own, or Sarah with Sally as a nickname, otherwise Sallyanne.
FWIW, my mum died a year to the day before my dd was born. We gave her my mum's name as a middle name, as it was not to our taste. It doesn't really go with the first name or our surname, but we very rarely say all three names together, so it isn't an issue.
I love Sarah, with nn Sally too.
Sally-Ann goes best same as Sarah Jane or Claire Louise but could have
Sally-Rae
Sally-Kate
Sally-Jo
Apparently Sally is traditionally a shortening for Sarah, maybe Sarah Jane / Sarah Louise / Sarah whatever on birth certificate and Sally as nn? Sarah goes with a lot of names I think.
Sarah Mary (no hyphen) is a lovely combination.
How about Sadie?
I believe it is a derivative and is lovely.
Sally-Louise
Ooh Sadie is nice. Also Selma with Sally for short?
Sally-Beth? Or too Waltons?
Thank you everyone there's some really good ideas here x
What about Salome, Sally for short?
Sally-Thea
Sally Grace
Sally Anne
Sally Renae
Sally Ray
Sally Wren
