Yeah Ferris Bueller is the only time I've ever heard of the name Sloane. It's 'all right'.. Sloane Sullivan definitely has a 'news reporter'/celeb sound to it. Maybe that's what they were going for. Ehh.. I kind of like it I guess.

yeah, it's very distinguished sounding. i wonder if sullivan is the mom's maiden name.

Way too masculine for me. Sloane is just a WEIRD name to me. It reminds me of... slime? I don't know. But I don't like it. :P

haha oh no, slime! :P sloane is a weird name, but i strangely like it. i would never use it, but i like it.

Sullivan teehee ;)

me too. i knew a girl named sloane once and she was super nice but i hated her name. it has such a negative sound to me. it's not pretty to me, it sounds like a bad word or a name you would call someone that was stupid... i don't know WHY i feel that way when i hear the name, but those are the images it brings up for me.

I'm good friends with 2 brothers who's last name is "Sloan" ... I guess it'd work as a BOYS name... not a girls name.

i think i like it better as a boys name, too.

I love the name Sloane for a girl. The mn is not my style at all. I would pair Sloane with a much more feminine name like Alexandria and Isabella.

i think it would be a lot better with a feminine mn too.

I agree, it definitely needs a feminine mn.

It's nice but I wouldn't personally use it

I don't like it. When I first looked at it, I didn't see the "daughter" part and thought the baby was a boy. Even for a boy, I don't like it. It rhymes with too many unpleasant words, like "groan" and "moan".

I like the name even though I'd never give it to my own daughter. One of my dad's childhood neighbors named her daughter Sloane and there was also a girl in one of my classes with the name.

Sloane Sullivan sounds like a wealthy Batman villain to me.

I actually dislike Sloane for girls OR boys because of the term "Sloane" - a young, snotty person of the upper-class. I think that's probably just a British term, though, judging from the number of Americans I know who think Sloane is just fine.

hahaha

hmm, maybe that's why i don't like the name. i grrew up in England and i have very negative thoughts about the name. perhaps because i've heard the word before in a negative context. i left england when i was 10, so i wasn't old enough to fully get the differences between english & american: i am still confused by certain spellings and phrasings.

in a book for high school English, they used the term "the bottom of the garden" and there was a footnote saying it meant the far end of the yard. i said to my friend that they must think we're stupid to put in such an obvious footnote, and she said she hadn't known what the book was saying without the note. recently, my brother asked my dad "when did they stop spelling tire/tyre with a 'Y'?" haha.

wait, britons spell tire with a y??

are you joking? (not being snarky, i can't tell). yes, it's spelled tyre. and traveler is spelled traveller. and counselor is counsellor. and of course everyone knows about colour, favourite, parlour, neighbour, behaviour, etc.

I didn't know about tyre with a Y until I actually visited England. I don't think it's as widely known as the extra U's in everything. :) Those silly brits.. always misspelling and mispronouncing everything. ;) Oh and it got to be very confusing for me, my English friend kept yelling my name while we were out on the highways.. *#@)@& Lorry this and *#@*@ Lorry that.. hehe

hrm gotta run and do a spell check.. I'm a dumb american who can't spell either. ;)

haha, no, actually, i was naively serious! i really had no idea.

i have to admit i've always had this weird affinity for names that call to mind old money and snobbery. Sloane, Greer, Hampton... i can't imagine using them, but they have always fascinated me. that life (WASP-y New England) is about as far from what i live as i can imagine.

I love the name Sloane. I begged my husband to let us use it when our daughter was born, but he nixed it.

I love the name Sloane. I wouldn't use it on my own baby girl, but I used it for a Sim!

I think it's a nice name.

love it.

probably the first time I've seen anyone out side of ferris buellers use it. I personally like it. To me it sounds very strong and sophisticted.

I missed the 'daughter' part and thought it was a boy. It'd prefer it on a boy, I think. Not that I really like it period. It reminds me of 'slow' and 'loan', neither of which are really the greatest associations...

I know a beautiful baby girl named Sloane. Her sister's name is Harper. I prefer the name Sloane over Harper.

They call the baby, Sloaney Baloney and nickname her BoBo...I don't like that.

Sloane is okay, but the rest of it is pretty bad.
