Sloane or Blair?

[Pugsymalone]

Im hoping for a girl and these are two names ive picked , what do you think of them ? Sloane just jumps out at me I haven't questioned it once I just love it for some reason, for a boy I have Maddox or Theo, am I being ridiculous

I'm not keen on either, but if you like them that's all that matters. I love Maddox and Theo though.

Sloane

Thank you! I do have other girls names picked out but a lot of people I know are having ️babys and seem to be using them haha :(

I prefer Sloane, I had both Sloane and Greer on my list.

My full list:
Oscar
Sloane
Blair
Theo
Carson
Hayden
Mason
Drew
Rian
Maddox
Marley
Sydney
Piper
Harper
Mila

Also Darcey, Dylan, Ellis, Leah, Piper, Harper, Vivienne and Valentina (Leni for short)

If any of those work for you

Holy cross posts OP, are we the same person??

SloanePeterson great username ;)

Strokethefurrywall have ️we hacked eachothers accounts ️excellent name choices

Sloane is like Portia IMO, neither are pretty or pleasing to the ear.

I like Maddox and Theo

Oh my goodness neither they are both horrible

Sloane

As are yours Pugsymalone, as are yours!

Do you have similar taste in boys names? I have 2 boys so didn't get a chance to use the girls names.

Have you been reading the Official Preppy Handbook? They sound pretty contrived.

MuseumOfCurry im from Dublin so I couldn't tell you what preppy means im assuming it's an insult though and no i haven't read any handbooks lately 👋im off to google what contrived means

Please don't call your daughter Sloane or Blair...

People are naming babies Sloane? No, don't like. Nor Blair, it sounds very 1980's to me.

I like Oscar, Theo, Sydney, & Piper though.

Where I live, Sloane is frequently used as described here en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sloane_Ranger, so I wouldn't personally use it.

Zen1 ive never heard of that! Probably because im in Ireland , strange is it a regularly used insult or a thing of the past?

Zen- yes, exactly!

Blair... I immediately thought tony . I like piper for a girl. What about something like Parker or Jenson for a boy.

Hmm... unusual names. I'm assuming that if you post on MN, you are happy to get polite replies saying people either like or dislike your possible choices. Out of interest, I googled your first two.

Sloane - short for Sloane Ranger - stereotypical fashionable people around Sloane Sq in London with too much money and not a lot of common sense.

Blair - Google is giving me Tony/Cherie Blair and the Blair Witch Project.

These names are interesting, but ensure your child has a life of tediously having to repeat and spell their name and explain that it's a first name, not a last name.

Theo is nice. I like that one. Have fun deciding.

Pugsy have you really really never heard of Sloane Ranger?
Princess Di was the ultimate Sloane.

Sloane makes me think of Ferris Bueller's Day Off, which is a good thing
Also like Theo. What about Rhiannon as you've suggested Rian?

Preppy is derived from 'prep' as in school.

It means a clean and wholesome look e.g. Ralph Lauren or J.Crew but it's also a throwback to the 80s when The Official Preppy Handbook was published, Blair featured in the Facts of Life and Sloane, Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
