[name_f]Brigitte[/name_f] and [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] - Are these names elegant or common sounding to you?
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] is very common and just very dull and plain to me (sorry). [name_f]Brigitte[/name_f] on the other hand is very refreshing to me and holds up much more substance than [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] imo. I prefer the [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] spelling though.
Depends on how you pronounce [name_f]Brigitte[/name_f] — with the [name_m]French[/name_m] pronunciation, I think it’s elegant and unusual. With the anglicized pronunciation ("[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]"), I would say it’s not so elegant, but definitely strong.
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] sounds nice, but I’ve known sooo many Sarahs that the name lost its luster a long time ago.
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] doesn’t do much for me. I don’t dislike it but it doesn’t stand out due to how often I hear it. [name_f]Brigitte[/name_f] is less used, and does have an elegant vibe to me because I think of [name_f]Brigitte[/name_f] [name_f]Bardot[/name_f].
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] is definitely common. Too common. So plain and boring - no offense, it’s just sooo over-used any spark it ever had has died.
[name_f]Brigitte[/name_f], however, is more charming. Not my style, but I can appreciate it. [name_m]Don[/name_m]'t know that I’d call it elegant, but it is nice.
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] sounds very boring and eh to me
[name_f]Brigitte[/name_f] is more of a grandma name than an elegant name to me
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] is heavily overused
I really like [name_f]Brigitte[/name_f], not sure how I would describe it, definitely wouldn’t say it’s common. [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] is cute but not rly my cup of tea, and is definitely common
I wish I liked [name_f]Sarah[/name_f], but it’s just so over done. [name_u]Seren[/name_u] and [name_f]Seraphina[/name_f] are alternatives that I like, and both of which I see as elegant.
As far as [name_f]Brigitte[/name_f], are we talking [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] or Brih-zheet? The first is less elegant, per say, but both are strong. I agree with a pp that [name_f]Brigitte[/name_f] is mega refreshing to hear, and soooooo not on the same page for me as [name_f]Sarah[/name_f].
I didn’t actually realize some people pronounced [name_f]Brigitte[/name_f] like [name_f]Bridget[/name_f]!
I wouldn’t call it elegant exactly, but [name_f]Brigitte[/name_f] feels lively and feminine and stylish, with a touch of European flair. It feels like the kind of name a model or fashion designer or artist would have. I also thought of [name_f]Brigitte[/name_f] [name_f]Bardot[/name_f].
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] is definitely common to me, sorry. It was super popular for girls around my age so I’ve known way more Saras/Sarahs than I can count and I can’t really get excited about it.
Although [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] is popular it still has a sweet, warm and classic feel to me. I like it. I love [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] and think it makes a good sister name for [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]. However [name_f]Brigitte[/name_f] has a different pronunciation - [name_f]Bri[/name_f]-ZHEET - with emphasis more on the second syllable. This is nice enough but a different style of name to [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Brigitte[/name_f] works if you have a [name_m]French[/name_m] surname, or the children all have [name_m]French[/name_m] names, otherwise can seem out of place to me.
[name_f]Sarah[/name_f] is common and [name_f]Brigitte[/name_f] doesn’t strike me as elegant. They both have their own type of beauty, though, and if I had to pick between the two I’d choose [name_f]Brigitte[/name_f] because it’s more interesting.
