Hi, when you hear the name 'Sienna' what do you think?? ie, would you think this person might be a foreigner, if you hadn't met yet? Do you think it's a pretty name or too unusual? Thank you for your time. ;)

I think it's a name in the same vein as Amelie. Has become very popular since Sienna Miller rose to fame.

Wouldn't expect her to be foreign and definitely wouldn't classify it as unusual. It is pretty though.

No, definitely English, sisters called Amelie and Olivia.

I really like it (despite generally being quite conservative about names). I think it's pretty. Slightly hippyish/trendy in the same way as India. Not foreign.

The only thing that puts me off is the "celebrity" connotation ie Sienna Miller. But that's not too bad.

First thought is Sienna Miller.
I wouldnt think of a particular nationality - nothing to suggest it isn't English.
Maybe a little girl with a sister Saffron.
Pretty & cute!

It's ok.

I'd assume British, with siblings named in a similar way.

I like it

I am in Ireland and here it would be seen as a bit like calling your child Chantelle or Britnee, sorry!

I don't like it. I think of Sienna Miller. It annoys me because I have heard it on a few occasions, screeched by parents in the supermarket so I associate it with feeling Hmm. Also, I don't like place names as people names.

I might wonder if they were Australian, because I know Sienna is a very popular name there. But I don't think it would be odd for any other English speaking nationality.

I think it sounds pretty, although it's not really traditional enough for my taste. It's well known and well used in the UK though, so I don't think it's too unusual.
