Is it "Sloan" or "Sloane"? (girl)

  According to IMDB, the character in Ferris Bueller's Day Off spelled it "Sloane." I can't think of anyone else with the name who is older.

  Classic. I'd come across the character in "Entourage" and her spelling was "Sloan".

  That was my issue, too - it's not any name I've heard of pre-"Ferris Bueller". (And yes, I know how ridiculous that sounds in terms of naming one's children.)

  So far we're one and one!

  Thank you

  Nameberry.com says that Sloane is a variation of Sloan, so I think that either is acceptable. I prefer it without an "e."

  I much prefer it with an e for a girl. I think it looks more finished that way (and more feminine).

  I agree with this, but honestly either spelling looks classic to me.  I prefer Sloane for a girl, though.

  Don't know, but I like it with an e for a girl. It seems softer.

  Sloane = more feminine.

  Sloan = more masculine.

  For some reason, this is how I feel about it too.  I really like it by the way.

  A girlfriend of mine is named Sloane - she has the "e". She is also in her mid thirties.

  I like it with the "e".  That sort of works in my name to make it feminine (Jaye versus Jay).

  I read a book by a female author who spelled her name Sloane Crosley.

  I think either way is correct, but I much prefer it spelled Sloane- it's more feminine.
