First thoughts...


when you hear the name Sharon, what comes to mind?

[identity profile] opal-kitten.livejournal.com 2008-11-05 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
My MIL.
No really, that is her name.

[identity profile] opal-kitten.livejournal.com 2008-11-05 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
Um...yes?
Sometimes.

I love her dearly, but she is aggravating some of the time! *chuckles*
I like it. It's not too old fashioned, nor is it kreeateev.

Ya know?

Bwahahah! The best is when she gets sunburned and has Kim peel the skin off.

Ozzy Osbourne saying "Shaaaron"
And second, one of my friends from high school.

A lady i know who was a chain smoker and never wore a bra. Also i think of "Rose of Sharon" which is a much better connotation.

[identity profile] sweethoneybee.livejournal.com 2008-11-05 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
I think of the Haley Mills character from the original "Parent Trap" movie and I think of Sharon Osbourne.

Sharon Osbourne. I don't dislike the name though!

[identity profile] ashleyyynoel.livejournal.com 2008-11-05 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Same here! She makes me like the name :P

[identity profile] velkoria.livejournal.com 2008-11-05 12:45 am (UTC)(link)

One of the first names I seriously loved :)
I remember being 12 and wanting to name my daughter that, and I pictured how she would look like if the father was my then-boyfriend (my first huge love).
I actually drew a picture of her at the time, she had curly black hair, dark brown eyes, and dressed in yellow and black.
She was the first child I dreamed of.

& Tracy.

English thing.

Kind of common/trashy/dated to the 70's, sorry.

It's my mom's name! I love it.

The woman my uncle married. Alcoholic chain smoker. But she's nice!

Dated name for working class British girls.

Osbourne- or an older woman

[identity profile] piecesofmoi.livejournal.com 2008-11-05 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
I hope this is another one of Nicholas's choices that you are looking for negative feedback on lol. I dont like it at all, no particular reason, I just never have. I can think of lots of vulgar comments that the boys could make in high school with the whole sharin' play on the name.

My husbands ex-girlfriend who threatened to stab me when I first started seeing him. Crazy girl.

And then; the really lovely well-dressed work trainer I had when I was working for an insurance company.

It's a bit of an ocker name, I think.
VERY common in middleaged women here in Australia

[identity profile] yaoi-kendoll.livejournal.com 2008-11-05 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
I think of my God-Mother's mother, who smoked for years, always wore moo-moos dresses, and wore her hair in a bee hive-life fashion that stood at least a foot tall... oh, and I think her eyebrows were penciled in.
Nice lady though. She's dead now.

[identity profile] nothingtolose19.livejournal.com 2008-11-05 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
A middle-aged lady. I think of one of my mom's friends, who's a really kind woman, so not a bad connotation. I'm not really a fan of the name in general, though - to me it just sounds really old-fashioned.

1. sharon stone
2. middle-aged (40s or 50s)

Bad-- My baby-sitter/housekeeper who locked us out of the house and ate all the oreos.

Good-- Song of Soloman

[identity profile] cremepuff.livejournal.com 2008-11-05 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
Like another poster, I think of Sharon Lois & Bram's Elephant Show. Yay.

It sounds like a middle-aged name and a little dated, but it's still pretty.

An Irish woman. I think because of Sharon Corr ;)

I think of Eastenders, and Essex girls with bleached hair and white high heels. All of which might be a very UK thing...

[identity profile] sandtree.livejournal.com 2008-11-05 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
A middle-aged woman. Very dated.

[identity profile] laminy.livejournal.com 2008-11-05 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Old women. Every time a girl my age in my Spanish class gets her name called, I just can't believe there is somebody that young with that old name.

[identity profile] snailrevolution.livejournal.com 2008-11-05 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I think of myself. ;)

Er, otherwise, Sharon Stone and Osbourne come to mind.
