I have rediscovered a classic girls name and I think it is BOOtiful

[Jujubean77]

Sally

I would call my next DD this in a shot, what a pretty, classy name.

[GooseyLoosey]

Doesn't really do it for me - wrong images spring to ming. But have no strong feelings against it.

[LadyMetroland]

I know a baby Sally

perhaps due for a revival?

[BunnyLebowski]

God no. It's dull and 70's tastic.

[hellokitty123]

Not keen personally, but it wouldn't bother me.

[suwoo]

One of the mums at school is called it. I like it for a baby girl, not much different to Millie, Lily and Molly et al.

[francagoestohollywood]

It is a lovely name, imo

[TheCrackFox]

I have always liked the name Sally.

[Jujubean77]

The Sally I knew was a very free- spirit, hippy, cool Mum of one of my pals so I may be influenced by this, but I still think it is pretty and strong at the same time.

[Leda]

It is lovely, but once last year at the play area in Kew Gardens there were two little Sally's -- so clearly also rediscovered by others.

[hatwoman]

I've always liked it. lovely name. couldn;t use it - as my dad's once OW now wife has a daughter called Sally. not sure if that's a good enough reason for us not to use it, but I was thinking of my mum...

[Lio]

Sally is good name. She can be a folk singer or prime minister.

[Lio]

Ahem, or anything else in between.

My Granny is Sally. Almost all my life (a very long time as I'm 42) I thought that was her given name, but I found out last year that her name is actually something else, Susan I think, or possibly Sarah. I must ask my Mum. I like it, it's one of those names that everyone knows but it isn't actually used very much (so far).

I would be tempted to name a child this (although my children came with names so I only got to give them middle names), although sometimes when I hear it it reminds me of a girl in my class who died in very tragic circumstances. I'd have to balance whether naming a DD after Granny would outweigh the memory of the other Sally. I think it's a cute name though.

[smother]

Makes me think of Aunt Sally, friend of Worzel Gummage. But thanks for sharing your re-discovery with us!

[Jamieandhismagictorch]

You are right, it IS a nice name, but with far too many 1970s associations ......

[KnickersandVests]

It's alright. Quite....friendly I suppose.

[ChilloHippi]

It's a nice, cheerful name. I like it.

[campion]

It's a diminutive of Sarah ( not Susan) but has been a name in its own right for yonks.

What's 70's about it?

[OrmIrian]

Can't stand it sorry. I never did like it much and my annoying neighbour is called Sally which doesn't help.

[BettyTurnip]

Sally Webster - enough to put anyone off...

[BunnyLebowski]

Exactly Betty....Sally Webster

It's just a drippy, wet and thoroughly boring name.

[Knickers0nmahead]

Tis a lovely name.

[nappyaddict]

I love it too.

[Sallyallyally]

It's a fabulous name!

First American woman to go into space was called Sally, Sally Fields Oscar winning actress..and I'm a Sally and I'm lovely!!!
