Sierra?

[namesstress2323]

opinions? :)

I like it...but I'm afraid I think immediately of the car.

Sienna as an alternative? Not keen on Sierra.

I'm not a fan.

It sounds like the slightest variation on Sarah when I say it aloud. I prefer Sarah.

I also like Sienna.

I love it!

Think I prefer Cortina

Wait can you explain? are you talking about the phone thing, whats the connection to Sierra

the car

I don't like commenting on name threads because each to their own and you can never please everyone, but this is dated because of the automatic association with an 80s car

Car I'm afraid.

It's the name of a car

My BIL had several Ford Sierras back in the day. He was the 80's/early 90's version of a Mondeo Man.

And because of that, it's too much of a car connotation for me and not long enough ago to have been forgotten.

Sienna is far prettier.

I also think of the Ford Sierra so, no, I don't like it.

Car.

Sienna is better.

As long as you are ok with her being nicknamed "Ford" by anyone over 40.....

The etymology is "jagged mountain range" or "Saw" from the Latin Serra.

Not really convinced why this appeals tbh.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, I'd think of the NATO alphabet.

Then you could have siblings India, Juliet, Mike, Oscar and Romeo

Ford had a model called the Sierra for years. Not made anymore but anyone in their 30s or older will immediately think of a mid range saloon car.

You could get away with Mercedes though....given the name came before the brand

Mercedes-Benz got its name from founder Carl Benz. The word “Mercedes” comes from the 10-year-old daughter of a car buyer Emil Jellinek. He was an early customer of the Gottlieb Daimler and ordered a custom-built car that he named after his daughter, Mercedes.

And on the same theme, Tango Sierra means Tough Shit (bit niche, as it's military and possibly emergency services slang, but not that uncommon to know, so thought it might be worth making sure you know)

I like it.

But I'm a dollhouse fan.

They were all named alpha echo Sierra Victor etc

Or Marina (another Ford car, but a more established name, not such a predominant model, and rather longer ago).

More sensibly, how about Sienna or Savannah as names that (to me) have a similar vibe but no auto associations?

I think of the car too. It was the salesman's choice, wasn't it

Sienna is lovely.

Good one, OP

Or Escort....hmmm maybe not

It's the topographic/mountain range association for me. I suppose I see it as the equivalent of calling your offspring 'Tundra' or 'upland bog'.

If you go on to have a boy, you could have Ford Prefect?

(then Arthur, Trillian, Zaphod and Marvin)
