Sorrel - name for a little girl? Your thoughts

[gemlouise123]

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

I know a Sorelle, which I think is a lovely name.

I don't like Sorrel as a first name very much - it's a vegetable, isn't it? Sorrel and her brother, Kale....also, not an elegant sounding name at all, quite coarse and bristly.

Sorrel is a herb isn't it? I know I've eaten wild sorrel in salads... tastes like apple. It's quite a delicate leaf, not bristly at all!

Sorry it's horrible and I've never heard of it. It doesn't sound like a person's name.

When I first heard it I thought it had a very sad, heavy vibe to it.
Reading other posts I realise its because it reminds me of the words Sorrow and Sorry- and the bit in Tess of the D'Urbervilles where she baptizes her daughter "Sorrow"

There was a Sorrel in my year at school

Me too....

We also live near a village called 'Xxxxxsorrel' and I always assumed her name was connected to the place but now I realise it probably wasn't ... I like it and would consider it were it not for said nearby village.

I like nature-y names like Rowan and Sorrel and as such I've got Fern on my list... Hazel is nice too.

I'm not keen on Sorrel (we have one in the wider family) mainly because it means 'bitter herb' although I think plant based names generally are lovely.

I have a Sorrel. Named after Sorrel Forbes, of course, and wood sorrel, a very pretty little wild flower. It's also an extremely yummy Trinidadian drink

For short, she's mainly Soz. Or Sozza
