I only know one, a beautiful serene little girl with Bambi eyes, so I like it.

Sheena Is A Punk Rocker.

AdorableAbbie · 27/11/2014 08:58

Sienna is a nice name. but what do you think of Sheena?

SurfsUp1 · 27/11/2014 01:33

Sienne makes me think of the orangey-brown colour.

I wouldn't say it's chavvy so much as a bit trying-to-be-cool. Not horrible though. I prefer Savannah which seems to be in the same vein to me?

SurfsUp1 · 27/11/2014 01:31

I'm not really sure why words like 'common' and 'chavvy' are seen as acceptable on the baby name topic.

Getting some perspective on how a name is perceived by others is why I come on here. If people think a name I'm considering is common or chivvy then that's what I want to know!!

I briefly considered this name but the laxative called senna put me off!too close.

ReginaBlitz · 25/11/2014 22:04

tilda is a make of rice?.....sienna is chavvy around here, theres a sienna in dds class at school whose mums profile pic on fb is the daughter sticking the v'S up.Pure class

SnoringNorma · 23/11/2014 01:31

I don't mind Sienna at all. It's pretty. Prefer Tilda to Matilda. May well go on our soon to be written list.

squoosh · 22/11/2014 22:55

I always think of it as quite a well-to-do name too, because it reminds me of actresses Sienna Miller and Sienna Guillory who are both quite posh.

MiddletonPink · 22/11/2014 22:42

The only Sienna I know comes from a very middle class family.

Castlemilk · 22/11/2014 12:35

No, sorry. I think of the actress, or laxatives, or the utterly bland mid-brown colour.

How about Serena, Selina?

Like Matilda!

WrappedInABlankie · 22/11/2014 12:33

Emily over Rachel for me

Pandora37 · 22/11/2014 12:33

I love Matilda, it has some fantastic namesakes. The film's awesome too. I'm not keen on Sienna, it's pretty but it only seemed to become popular after Sienna Miller became famous.

As for Emily and Rachel, Emily is extremely popular but a classic. Rachel is a bit more dated but a nice name and there probably won't be many other little Rachels about.

Yea I don't think I'd go with Matilda. I like the name though but worry she might hate it!

Sienna reminds me of murky brown, the colour, and Senna pods.

I agree with the poster above who said Matilda is terrible.

Ha ha no I've never watched Hollyoaks !

WrappedInABlankie · 22/11/2014 12:16

Makes me think of the crazy girl in holly oaks that slept with her twin brother and had a baby, got locked in a basement, got another woman sectioned and stole her kids and husband, kidnapped a child and ran her dad over. If you don't watch holly oaks though it doesn't matter Wink

GaryShitpeas · 22/11/2014 12:10

(Not really. But I have a boy with a name that rhymes with Jayden in the same vein.....Wink)

GaryShitpeas · 22/11/2014 12:08

I have a Jayden too

We had it on list for dc2 but he was a he so didn't use it Smile. There's a Sienna and Savannah (twins) in dd's class.

GotToBeInItToWinIt · 22/11/2014 11:41

I know a really lovely, definitely not 'chavvy' 2 year old Sienna so while it's not a name I would pick myself (I prefer traditional names) it has very positive connotations for me Smile.

mymummademelistentoshitmusic · 22/11/2014 11:24

Sienna is seen as downmarket round here - Yorkshire. But the biggest downside for me (apart from not being keen) is that it reminds me of Sienna Miller. Not keen on her.

Alexia is an inability to write (more extreme than dyslexia). A- means absence.

I knew a Venice once if you want to go down the Italian cities route. Very pretty.
