Sienna ?

[Findingthisdifficult1234]

I really like this name. What do you think ?

It's fairly popular around here (not ridiculously so, but I know a few under 5). It's not really my style - too modern - but lots of people obviously do like it.

Very common in London, and not in the posh circles.....
So for me no, too common (by people I think are too common)
But outside of my world, I do actually like it.

Think it is better if spelled Siena, like the city.
Not massively keen though, sounds too much like senna (the laxative). Also may be perceived as a bit 'common', as already mentioned.

I didnt mind it but I think earlier posts have now written it off for me

Very common and not in a good way around here (NW)

Bit chavvy Serena is much nice IMO or savannah is still more unusual

I prefer the Siena spelling too. Such a gorgeous little city.

Ooh so it's known as a chavvy name!

Its a beautiful name.

And fuck off with all your 'common' and 'chavvy' comments.

Its not a chavvy name op.
its a beautiful name. The Siennas I have met have been gorgeous too.

I like it.

Chavvy? DFO.

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

Well I think it's better than Vienna. I know a few of those. I think these sort of names like Paris etc are just not the best. They seem a bit wrong. Florence is ok though so not sure as to my rationale.

Insane incestuous baddy on Hollyoaks is my first association. Obviously that'll pass.

Why would anyone call their kid Vienna? Can you imagine how many times a week they'd get 'OOOOOOHHHHHH VIENNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAA'.

If I was a Vienna I'd be doing hard time for murder.

Because some people are twats, usual?

Gosh I hate the 'c' word, but at least 2 of the Sienna's I know are about as far away from it as you can get (if I force myself to think in those terms). One in particular is very prep school / pony club.

Ok so it's not a chavvy name! Haha you lot confuse me!
Well I like it, so IF I have a girl I will probably use it. Never heard of a Sienna round here. I live on the south coast

It's very commonly used where I live at the moment. Know of 5 in the last year or so and a few around 5/6 years old too.

I don't like the meaning. Sienna is a colour, a shade of brown.

Yes the meaning does let it down a bit. I can't think of any other names I like as much, I like Matilda. But would that have too much association with the movie?

I love it. I wanted it for dd2 and would have been her name but her dad didn't like it

matilda is terrible.

Sienna is a lovely name, and there's only 3 around here that I know of. Nothing 'chavvy' associated with it for me, but then again I'm not a frequenter of Waitrose so perhaps it would be different if I were.

Matilda is a great name too. Probably less 'popular' than Sienna, and the film is great so who cares about the link!

That's true. Just need to choose a name and not worry what people think and associate it with!
What are your children's names? If you have any?

I've have one DC and one on the way any day now. But my name choices would out me!

We pick our names by thinking of names of characters in books/TV and reading the credits of films.

I think if you keep it quiet and tell people the name you've picked when it's too late to be changed, no-one would make any negative comments and that name would be associated with your DC so everyone involved would love it.
