Boring or actually quite cute?

I know a Sally and a Sallie. Both fun and feisty. Go for it.

Ignore the people who say Sally is boring. I don't get the idea that a name has to be "exciting". Sally is a lovely traditional and currently not all that common name. It's simple and straightforward and doesn't have a stereotypical personality attached to it. Good choice IMHO.

Lovely name.My Gran was Sally and as my first name [not the one I use] is Sarah my dh calls me Sal.
I would have used itfor dd if I hadn't had a falling out with a 'friend' named Sally. I don't know a single one now and I think it is due a comeback.It is so pretty.

Dull sorry. My first office job involved mainly sending documents up to 'Sally in accounts'

I hated Sally.

I think Sally is a very pretty name

Who said it's '70's?
I know four Sally's and they are all in their Fifties which makes it more a 50/60's name.
I like it.

1970 exactly for the Sally I know Grin

I know one little Sally, and I think it is great name.

I also think you need to take this site with a pinch of salt sometimes.

When pregnant with DD2, I asked about her name (Katherine) and got very similar results to you - boring, 1970s, dull name etc... But roll on a few years, and now I see people recommending it all the time Grin.

Like you, I wanted a name that was different to the norm (so not one of a 100 Emilys, Evies, Lillys, Chloes etc), but nothing too out of the norm. For us, Katherine did that, and Sally does the same thing. Everyone knows the name, but chances are she'll be the only child with that name in her school. My children have this, and they rather like it Grin.
