Congratulations to both. Look forward to finding out what they've named her!

I guessed the middle name!

A lovely name!

Very sweet but the fourth Sienna in as many months that I have heard of , definitely the name for 2021

Lovely name.

Oooh I think @Serenster was the closest by suggesting the names of Italian cities!

i like Sienna

Lovely name

Pretty name.

I actually love that the Queen’s great grandchildren just sound like the names on any primary school leavers’ hoody:

George
Mia
Charlotte
Isla
Savannah
Lucas

Etc (August maybe the exception )

@NotThisWeekSatan

Timothy
Edward

Andrew Sarah

And her grand children:
Peter
Zara
William

Beatrice
(I give you that Eugenie if a bit of an outlier!)

All perfectly ordinary names

Oooh I think *@Serenster* was the closest by suggesting the names of Italian cities!

I wonder how that sounds in Italy - would it be the equivalent of calling someone Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle here?

@DFOD I know an American woman called Devon, which I think falls just one the right side of the line!

It does remind though me of some of the weird and wonderful English names you get when Japanese car companies think that something in English will automatically be cool. Like the Nissan Cedric, or the Mitsubishi Winky.

Yes and there are people called Paris etc - but I wonder if anyone in France (or Paris!) is called Paris?

Funny as Toyota have a car make called Sienna.

I do think it’s a pretty name (and colour and city) - just musing really if an Italians use this name.

My elderly mother , a keen artist, simply said ‘why have they called her ‘brown’?’. Because sienna is actually the colour brown in most paints.

Correct. Sienna is an Earth pigment that's a yellowish brown.
There's also burnt sienna which is a reddish brown.

How derogatory of her.
