Sloane

[FreshScent]

I heard this on a girl recently and I quite like it, what do you think of it for a girl?

[aGalChangedHerName]

Don't like it at all.

[stubbyfingers]

not good. bad connotations. sorry.

[littlelamb]

Ferris Bueller

[ScummyMummy]

Really dreadful! It's a term of abuse, isn't it?

[Clary]

As in Ranger?

[janeite]

I think it's absolutely awful. Sorry.

[yousaidit]

it does make 'ranger' spring to mind.

hmmm, it does seem with its connotations that its more a slangy nick-name than a childrens name based on an area.

if you like using place names as baby names are there other names you could consider?

[Paolosgirl]

Oh good grief.

[Tinker]

Um, why?

[RockinSockBunnies]

Sloane Square?
Sloane Ranger?

No, sorry, don't like it at all.

[Tommy]

no

[Pingpong]

no

[UniS]

no.
Slone was the derogatory name given to lazy rich kids at university on daddy's money.

[muggglewump]

No.

[LobstersLass]

Terrible.

[Unabel]

There are no words quite fitting enough to describe my disgust for it. Sorry, it's awful. Sloane Rangers aside, it sounds like the name of some sort of slug/sloth hybrid.

[Deemented]

Methinks someone has been watching too much daytime TV... Diagnosis Murder, perchance?

[Tambajam]

Sloane is an insult. Are you aware of that and this is a joke? It's like calling someone 'snob' or 'idiot'. Not a great idea really.
If you like the sound why not make up your own version: gloane, foane...

[Stannie]

Oddly.. I like it.. but would also be put off by the associations made with it.. although the first Sloane I thought of was Ferris Bueller! (like littlelamb)

[MrsMattie]

Urgh! Hideous.

[Bonneville]

Another silly (non) 'name'.

[frazzledgirl]

Another one here who loathed all the baseball-capped braying Sloane twunts at university.

Don't do it!

[poppysweetie]

I am sorry I really dont like it, just makes me think of ladies driving to Sloane Square in 4 by 4s and checked shirts

[SoupDragon]

It is a dreary kind of name.
