Sally?

[passmethevino]

Thoughts ladies?

It's not that bad but I'm not overkeen on it.

I love it but dh wouldn't have it.

The 2 I know are over 50 and they are both Sarah, known as Sally.
I definitely prefer it to Lucy though. Orla, I quite like.

I like Sally. And Sadie. And Stella. And Sara.

Not so keen on Orla.

One of my least favourite 'granny names'. There are plenty of other decent older names to choose from which are better than Sally. Sorry OP

Sally is a nice, slightly retro name that is due for a revival round about now I should think. Lucy is nice too, but fairly popular if that matters to you.

Orla - no I don't get the current love for this. It doesn't have an attractive sound to it really, it's not horrible, but meh.

My sister, late 30s, is a Sally. It's an unusual name, in her and any younger generation. I like it a lot. She just gets Sal for short. I also know an older Sarah who goes by Sal.

Trying to think if I know of any other Sallys! Some people have called it a granny name but I don't know anyone of that generation with that name.

Thank you for all of your opinions. What about Eleanor, nn Nell?

Eleanor is lovely - and Nell is too :)

I have name changed for this!!

It is my name ( a 1950's child) & I loathe it with a passion. Sal is even worse!

Elanor is so much nicer!

Eleanor is lovely, but I really dislike Ellie.

Nell is nice though.

Eleanor is lovely if not shortened. Dislike Ellie (too many) and really dislike Nell.

I love Sally and kinda wish I had used for DD2. I also know a young, cool, lovely Sally which probably makes me like the name even more. Love Lucy too

I like it. But I think yes, It's because I know a Sally who I love!

i like it. it has a retro feel but it works now too

I love Sally and Sal is a really cool nickname,
I think Orla is the pits and reminds me of Oral
Lucy is better.

Love it, know a fab one. To me it's outdated in a lovely way - kind of 1950s, vintage vibe - girly but from another era. I'd put it along with Nancy, Jean, Betsy etc.

Oh and I know about three Orlas! That has all the makings of the next Isla...

Quite retro but very pretty - due a comeback, in my opinion! It's cool and unfussy, but still feminine.

I'm a Sallie and I have never really liked my name but I suddenly feel like I should defend it!!
I can see it could be quite sweet for a little girl.
I do get called Sal a lot which I really hate

Not my favorite, but it's OK. I think Lucy is nicer, though.

Orlas seem to be popping up all over the place--I would avoid it for precisely that reason....

I'm 30, I'm Sally, and I love it! There have been numerous times where I could have gone by my legal name - Sara - but I've always chosen Sally. I wear a name tag at work, and I've gotten a huge number of compliments on how "pretty" a name it is, and how you "don't hear it very often." Oddly enough I'm very rarely, if ever, called Sal.
