Sloan/Sloane

What do you guys think about Sloan/Sloane for a girl?

EXL311

I love it!

Love! It's been one of my favorites for a while. I was partial to Abigail Sloane, but hubby didn't love it. You'll get Entourage and Ferris Bueller references, but I wouldn't let that deter you. It's a very cool name.

I know there is also the Grey's Anatomy reference but none of those bother me. I also would be lost for a middle name... Our middle name choices so far have been Mae and Louise. I know Mae is out and don't really like Sloane Louise for some reason....

I think its kinda cute.

BLPL101

Hate. There is nothing feminine about this name.

Bueller? 

Mike&Care

Im a big fan, but wouldnt use it.

Well I do tend to like unisex names, which I know aren't so popular on this board.. And to be honest, I've only seen Ferris Bueller once (I was born the year it came out) and don't even know the character Sloane, so I doubt my babies generation will make that connection...

I like it but only with the -e.

Obviously, I'm a fan .  I will say that in testing the name among people I know IRL, it's a love it or hate it name - my brother and DH's grandma, for example, hate it, whereas other random family members totally love it.  I, too, prefer it with an E.  

I should add that I'm a big Ferris Bueller fan, and DH is a big Entourage fan.  We both love the name. 

I should add that, should we go with Sloane, we will use Elise as a MN.  I think it warrants a pretty feminine middle name.

Sloane.

I like it. 

adam+katie

I love it, DH hates it.  I think I would do no e, personally.

forensicmama

Neither.

We love it, it was our girls name for DS 1. I prefer it with an E. Our family had mixed views on it but we adored it.

PhilsWife07

It's putrid in my book.

BlueRidge8

Love it.

If it weren't our cat's name and didn't sound awful with our last name, it would have been a contender for DD.

Love Sloane!

Sloane is what we are naming our daughter

Middle names are tough with this one, which almost deterred me. We've now decided to go with Sloane Adele as my MIL's fn is Adele.

Hate. There is nothing feminine about this name.

I also think it's not the least bit feminine.  And doesn't it mean "warrior"?  I guess if unisex names are your thing, then that's fine, but to me it just screams boy.

melody921

I think Gray's Anatomy, but I actually still really like it. I'd go with the "e"

MissMommyMac

I actually love Sloane and thought about using it for my LO.

alliejo725

I like it. It was almost my name, and my mom still thinks it would've suited me better than my actual name.

CUTE

apc1929

  Love it.  And I do think it ages well.     Slightly prefer Sloane spelling

bucklebunny1

I like it. I like different names with old fashion/traditional MNs

JenniferL923

I love Sloane.  It was almost DD's name.  I think it sounds very pretty on a girl.

I just couldn't get over the fact that Sloan is the company manufactures the piping seen on public toilets.  I didn't want to set her up for teasing so I reluctantly dropped it and we went with DH's pick for her.
