Thoughts on Sally

Hello Berries!

Recently, a family friend welcomed a little girl named [name_f]Sally[/name_f] and I can’t stop thinking about the name. It just seems very fresh and friendly. It has history and it isn’t even in the top 1000, which surprised me. What do you think of [name_f]Sally[/name_f]? Also, what would you suggest as far as middle names and siblings names go?

Thanks!

[name_f]Sally[/name_f] is very retro to me, in a lovely way.
I would pair it with a longer middle name that has some complimentary sounds.

[name_f]Sally[/name_f] [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f]
[name_f]Sally[/name_f] [name_f]Maria[/name_f]
[name_f]Sally[/name_f] [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Sally[/name_f] [name_f]Christina[/name_f]
[name_f]Sally[/name_f] [name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Sally[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Sally[/name_f] [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f]
[name_f]Sally[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]
[name_f]Sally[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Sally[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]

I love [name_f]Sally[/name_f] but mostly because I associate it with several friends (the youngest is around 40) with this name. It’s a “[name_m]Dick[/name_m] and [name_f]Jane[/name_f]” book-type name for me, fitting with [name_f]Peggy[/name_f], [name_f]Susan[/name_f]/[name_f]Susie[/name_f], [name_f]Linda[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]/[name_f]Dottie[/name_f], [name_u]Billy[/name_u], [name_u]Bobby[/name_u], [name_f]Barbara[/name_f], [name_m]Russ[/name_m], [name_f]Judy[/name_f], [name_f]Nancy[/name_f], [name_m]Steve[/name_m], [name_f]Pam[/name_f], [name_m]John[/name_m], [name_m]David[/name_m], [name_f]Mary[/name_f], [name_f]Helen[/name_f], [name_m]Tommy[/name_m], [name_m]Frank[/name_m], [name_m]Jim[/name_m], [name_f]Ann[/name_f], [name_f]Carol[/name_f], [name_f]Diane[/name_f], [name_f]Cindy[/name_f], etc. I’d use [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] with [name_f]Sally[/name_f] as a nn-- [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f], [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f], [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f], [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], [name_f]Sarah[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f].

I think it’s cute! My first association is the movie When [name_m]Harry[/name_m] Met [name_f]Sally[/name_f]. But I think the name itself is, like a PP said, very retro in a very cute way.

I love [name_f]Sally[/name_f]! I think it’s sweet and full of energy without being too cutesy. Plus it feels a lot fresher to me now that it’s less popular. I more associate with [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] [name_m]Brown[/name_m]'s sister in Peanuts, and another character I really don’t like, but the lightness and brightness of the name makes up for it.

I adore [name_f]Sally[/name_f]!!! I actually knew a little [name_f]Sally[/name_f] and she was a beautiful child with perfect ringlets. It’s a sweet happy name.
