I follow the blog & Twitter of a very funny woman who has three children and I find it to be a very interesting sibset-

Salinger (F; age 9)
Henry (M; age 6)
Beatrix (F; age 1)

I'm kind of falling in love with Salinger. They seem to call her Sal a lot. I think it's adorable.

Thoughts?

Salinger isn't my style at all, but it seems like more of a masculine name

Henry is nice, Beatrix also isn't my style but it's alright. i feel like it's a name for a spunky girl.

AWESOME, Salinger for a girl is my biggest guilty pleasure name

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

Really cute! I love literary names.

Salinger has a sweet sound to it, but I totally thought it was masculine. I think Sterling is similar but more "acceptable" and not so guilty pleasure-ish. I think of Sal as a male nn!

i like henry and beatrix but i think salinger is really pretentious and annoying.

[unaccepatable.livejournal.com]

I agree completely. I kept trying to articulate why I don't like Salinger, but you nailed it for me. Totally pretentious.
Beatrix and Henry I could definitely get behind, though.

thiiiiiis.

I don't think I can roll my eyes hard enough.

Henry and Beatrix are fantastic, though.

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

I agree.

[doxerssoldout.livejournal.com]

agreed.

Not a fan of Henry or Beatrix, but Salinger (and the nickname Sal) is really cute!

I could see Salinger on a boy, but it is not working for me as a girl's name.
I like Henry and Beatrix, though.

I love the names, actually. I don't know how I feel about Salinger for a girl, but it's grown on me even in the five minutes between reading this entry and commenting. And Sal is cute.

I love them all!!! It's probably the best sibset ever...

[bloomingtulip.livejournal.com]

I could get behind Salinger for a boy except that I HATE the NN Sal.

Love Henry and Beatrix.

Okay, I was with Salinger, until I did a double-take and realized it was a girl. No, no.

I do like Henry. Not a fan of Beatrix.

[pixie-bones.livejournal.com]

They're all okay, but I'm not feeling Salinger on a girl -at all-.

(I don't always pay attention to what's in the parenthesis right away, so I thought it was a boy, haha.)

Love the commitment to literary names, and don't mind Salinger even though it's sort of obvious, but I don't like it for a girl. I'd call her Sally.

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

I mean if I chose Salinger as a name. I don't randomly choose "better" nns for other people's kids just because I'm not a fan of their name choice! :)

[jesuslovesbono.livejournal.com]

how is Salinger pronounced? i always think of it as "Say-linger" but mb i'm wrong (and i don't know if the G should be hard or soft)

[fellclutch.livejournal.com]

Sall-in-ger. The 'g' is like generous, not goose.

[jesuslovesbono.livejournal.com]

ok thanks

I like Salinger, but as a boy's name....
