If you were to meet a girl or boy baby/child/adult with the name [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u] what kind of vibes or thoughts does it give you? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think it will work as an adult? Thanks 
Honestly, all Iāve ever thought about the name is āCivil War battleā. Thatās it. I know its meaning and origin, etc., but I cannot detach it from the battle. (Not that thatās necessarily a bad thing because it was a Union victoryā¦) Anyway, itās probably just me, so, you know, do with that what you will.
I know people have used the name for both genders, so Iām sure it works!

I donāt think Iāve ever heard of the Civil War battle. It gives me soft vibes, probably because of the āShā sound in the name. I picture someone who is very polite and soft-spoken, but of course I think it can work on anyone. Someone whoās more loud and crazy would own the name as well. I will say though that the dog association is always there but for me I think I am able to overlook it because the name is so beautiful but I know other people who say they cannot get past it just being a dog name.

I always imagine a really bubbly kid whoās kind of shy at first but is over it really quick and just in general is very fun and sweet, but I feel like [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u] is a very versatile name that works with many personalities. Most Shilohās that are alive right now arnāt adults but I could see it on one!

Thatās partly the reason Iām asking my family say the same thing regarding the battle and its abit deflating. Kind of like why would you name them after such a thing. I also wasnāt aware of the dog or battle before looking further into the name but I think many qualities about the name over ride any negative associations.
Thatās good! I definitely think that if you love the name, thatās what matters. As I said, I know plenty of people have used it. 
And, honestly, I wouldnāt say the battle or the dog are necessarily negative associations. Just some to be aware of before rather than after using it.

I met a baby at the beach a few weeks ago named Shiloh and she was a wiiild little girl! Running and laughing and dropping pizza slices in the sandā¦ so thatās what I picture. An absolute wild-child shuffling around on her little legs!

The book/beagle is the first thing I think of because the first time I heard [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u] was when my elementary teacher read the book, [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u], when I was a kid and Iāve never met anyone named [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u] so the beagle has always been my predominate association but I donāt think this book is necessarily a negative association. I think it would work well on a person, adult or child

I looove [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u]! I like it on both genders but I prefer it on girls. [name_f]My[/name_f] first association would be the book/dog. I love the association because it was one of my favorite childhood books and brings back lots of memories of my friends. I think it can work for any age.
