Sorrel - name for a little girl? Your thoughts

83 replies

What do you think to Sorrel as a little girls name?

My family are all set on her being called Ruby but I just feel that isn't 100% right.

So she could be Sorrel Ruby T(our surname begins with a T)
Sorrel Bea T
Ruby Sorrel T
Bea Sorrel T

How could Sorrel be shorten?

I also like the following names:

Coco
Sage
Wren
Willow
Elmer
Winnie (grandmas name)

Your thoughts would be welcomed

Love it. Couldn't use it with our surname but think it's a great name

It's a great name

Sorrel is very pretty, and I definitely prefer it to Ruby. Not sure it goes with Ruby as mn - too many r sounds I think.

Of your other names, I like Willow and Wren.

Sorrel is very lovely! (And not every name needs to be shortened. It's only two syllables.) Wren is also cute, but Willow just reminds me of Buffy.

Elmer carries a shotgun and hunts wabbits.

I love it, it's on my list, as are a few on your list, we have similar taste in names! If you don't like Ruby ignore your family, it's not their decision to make, and although Ruby is lovely it's very very popular

I like Sorrel. Wouldn't use it myself, but it is nice.

Def better than Ruby.

We have a similar taste in names! I have loved Sorrel since I was a teenager & have still never met one in RL.

I also love Sage, Wren & Willow.

Not so much Ruby though TBH. In what way do mean that "your family are all set on her being Ruby"? You do know that only you & your DP get a say don't you?
