About ten years ago every girl was named Sienna so I’m a bit over it. It’s usually tagged with Rose or Grace as a filler middle name.

TeaCalm74 · 15/05/2025 13:54

I just think of a muddy red brown colour...

LivingLaVidaBabyShower · 15/05/2025 13:55

I think it's lovely!

Shetlands · 15/05/2025 13:57

It's very popular at the moment so there might be several in her class but it's a pretty name so I can see why people choose it.

It’s become dull from overuse

Shame as it has a nice sound

Nowheretobeseen · 15/05/2025 14:16

Lovely

Pinkypoos86 · 15/05/2025 14:18

I love that name. And all the best I’m pregnant as well, but I’m not due until December time. I love the name Elodie which is what I’m choosing if I have a girl.

purpleme12 · 15/05/2025 14:24

I like it

frecklejuice · 15/05/2025 14:31

Used to be nice but now it’s just overused and there seem to be a lot of teenage girls around here called Sienna.

Firsttimebabymummy · 15/05/2025 14:50

I like it, but work in a nursery and it is popular. That may not bother you though!

Serena?

XelaM · 15/05/2025 14:52

My niece is called Sienna. I think it's nice but there are prettier names

Dreichweather · 15/05/2025 14:53

Makes me think of Senna

ZingyMentor · 15/05/2025 14:58

Its a beautiful name my 11 year old is called Sienna 😀

ginasevern · 15/05/2025 15:25

It's not unpleasant but she will be one of thousands called it.

Pppopopapill · 15/05/2025 15:28

It’s lovely.

BrentfordForever · 15/05/2025 15:30

It’s lovely but reminds me tiny bit of Senna laxative … sorry 🤐

Headycloud · 15/05/2025 16:02

Love it! It’s on our list.

MN are very snooty about certain names and this name seems to be one of them. I’m not sure why, probably because it’s not middle class enough.

its not over used if you look at it statistically it peaked a few years at no 12 well below Olivia, Freya, Isla (yet these names are loved by mumsnet).

Also keep in mind that popular names twenty years ago aren’t the same as popular names now as parents are choosing a wonder variety of names so even the top 3 most popular names are far less used than 10-20 years ago.

We would have called DS Sienna if he were a girl, but that was 7 years ago

I think it's a bit done now. Unfortunate, as it's a pretty name

I was going to say in Year 6 at school there are many Siennas!

mambojambodothetango · 15/05/2025 17:42

At least spell it correctly, assuming you are inspired by the Italian city Siena. I like it.

Spaceman101 · 15/05/2025 17:50

I a fan as my 6 year old is called Sienna. I don't find it to be overused as others have said.

TizerorFizz · 15/05/2025 17:56

Sienna Miller was a boarder at a very expensive girls’ school. The name has now been done to death - probably not seen in girls boarding schools though.

Shetlands · 15/05/2025 18:00

Princess Beatrice named her eldest daughter Sienna Elizabeth in 2021.

bugalugs45 · 15/05/2025 18:05

I love it ,very pretty but it’s super popular , my 8 year old has 4 in their class of 30 .
Don’t like it tagged with Rose or May though , think it’s bit chavvy but any name double barrelled with those makes
me cringe tbh

Most people have the double N , in fact I don’t know anyone that has a single ,
you’d spend your life saying ‘ no, just one N ‘
