Sorrel

[AlwaysFuckingTired94]

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

😊

Sounds like a name for a Sylvanjan Family. Which is my favourite genre of name, so I love it

Sorrel is nothing like Soreen, which is the malt loaf. Soreen sounds like a name from Game of Thrones but Sorrel doesn't.

SleepWarrior, are you thinking of sorrow? I can see how you might, I suppose.

Probably because of the close sounds to words like sorrow, sorry, although I'm not muddling the words up per se.

I know a couple of 30-something Sorrells but personally think it's an ugly noise, not a nice name.

Laurel?

It makes me think of a bitter herb, sorrow & saying sorry - so it's a no from me.

Not usually my style (not keen on Wren or Willow, for example), but for some reason I really like it.

It sounds very close to sorrow, so I wouldn't use it for that reason. Perhaps depends on your pronunciation of the last half of the name? I would say saw-R-L. If you said saw-ALL or saw-RAL then it doesn't sound as similar.

Well it could be shortened to “El” or Ellie even, you wouldn’t have to say “sor”

Lovely. I taught a Sorrel once, but about 10 years ago.

Never heard before but I actually really like it

Really like it

I think it’s absolutely lovely. Really distinctive but not too in-your-face about it.

it's a bit too flower power hippy for my taste, like Saffron and Amber.

Not keen, sorry.
It's a weed.

Is it Malt loaf or did I imagine that?

Sounds like "Sorrow" to me personally.
I knew a lovely person with the name, though.

`Sorrel is a beautiful name. My husband tries to get us to eat it on walks.

Ballet Shoes! Yes. It is beautiful.

I think it's beautiful.

I love it.

It's a lovely name. A friend of a friend is named Sorrel, it really suits her.

I like nature names, but not keen it sounds like a sad name, too much like sorry.

Sounds like a name for a pony.

Love it.
The Noel Coward play Hay Fever has a character called Sorel. Phoebe Waller-Bridge played the part in the 2012 revival.
