Sharon.

What do you think of the name Sharon? I've always liked it because it was my mom's name, but I want to know what connotations it stirred up for other people. I definitely don't see it around a lot. Thoughts?

Definitely a mom name. I hear it and see a 50-year-old. I can't imagine it on anyone under 40. It's not that it's an ugly name, it's just unmistakably out of style. If you're special about it (understandable, since it was your mom's name) you might use it as a middle. Alternately, I seem to remember hearing that Sharon and Bethany were both names for the same area in the Bible? Maybe you could use Bethany as a "modern" version of Sharon.
