I like the sound and feel of Sloane.

Obviously, I don't like the Sloane Ranger association, which kills the whole name for me.

What names can you think of have the same feel to them?

Bronagh (Irish name rhymes with mona). I had a lovely and very beautifully friend called this at school so has good associations.

I don't particularly like Blythe, but that is the sort of thing I'm looking for

Sloane from Ferris Bueller was cool.
I like Afton. Or Blythe.

It makes no sense to call a kid this surname.

Girl, although I have no intentions of using it at all. I don't like it either (because of the association) so I'm using it as a jumping off point

The same feel as in, short and simple without any frills. Can't be shortened. Sort of unisex without being a boy's name

Nah. It's a joke and in my esteemed opinion Grin

ineedamoreadultieradult · 25/06/2017 19:45

Nope don't like it

reuset · 25/06/2017 19:45

I know of one, an American, female.

Not good. What do you mean by same feel? A surname-type name, or something like Chelsea, as already suggested?

WaitrosePigeon · 25/06/2017 19:45

Naff!

TeaChest100 · 25/06/2017 19:41

Seriously though, for a girl or boy?

TeaChest100 · 25/06/2017 19:41

Chelsea Grin
