Sorrel

[AlwaysFuckingTired94]

What do you think? For a girl
Middle name suggestions welcome

😊

I'd think herb, not a name tbh.

I think it's really pretty.

i think its lovely. it reminds me of sun

for middle names you could try:

Alina
Thea
Cara
Karina
Brooke

al; the best x

It reminds me of a fruit loaf

I like it. But my children have ‘natural’ names. It reminds me of Roman, Willow type names. I like.

Its the name of a shoe brand in the States. Good shoes though.

It's a food not a name

Then I suppose if basil and rosemary are OK then sorrel is too if you like it

It's nice.

I know a lovely mid 30s Sorrel. I've always thought it was a great name.

I think it’s very pretty, don’t think it necessarily needs a middle name either.

It's great. Like Rowan, Hazel and Willow. Nature names are lovely!

Just no. I just packed away my Sorrel snow boots for spring and I could not be more glad to see the back of them! They’re not just popular a popular brand in the states- there’s a store in Val d’Isere (French ski resort) and Kate Middleton has a pair.

I think it's also a horse colour.

But it's a lovely name!

I don't like eating sorrel - it's a bitter, sour taste- so it puts me off the name. I really like Rosemary as a name, and natural names in general. Explore flowers and trees perhaps? Or River, Rain, Skye, etc? Or sweeter herbs?

I knew a horse with that name but it isn't unpleasant.

There’s a sorrel in a Noel Coward play. And a children’s novel - Ballet Shoes? Lovely.

I cannot say ‘r’ sounds easily so this would be Sowwel for me.

Aside from that, if it gets shortened, it’s not nice.

I love it! I wanted to call DD1 Sorrel but (ex)DH vetoed it. Still wish I’d argued harder TBH!

Sorrel is a lovely name. It reminds me of Curtain Up by Noel Streatfield. I like names from flowers and other plants. Hazel, Rowan, May, Rose, Lily, Rosemary, Viola, Violet, Tansy, Daisy, Marguerite - all lovely.

Re associations with shoe brand, which is SOREL, not Sorrel - I just can't see this as an issue at all. I wouldn't make the connection.

I used to work with a really snooty one who talked to me like I was something she wiped off her shoe, so a no from me.

Gorgeous. But careful of pronunciation in your area. Round here it would be Sorruw.

Don't like it. Malt loaf n plant.

I like it.

Lots of names are also attached to products - don't let that put you off.

Sorrell is lovely. You might also like:

Saffron
Clove(r)
Anise
Juniper
Melissa
Nigella
Olida

...all herbs or spices.

It's sort of pretty, but I think it also has a sad, melancholy air to it that would rule it out for me.
