[Opinions] Sterling
What do you think of Sterling? I love the meaning, and something about the sound appeals to me too, though I can't put my finger on what. I do worry a bit about it aging well, though. Can you picture a grown man named Sterling as easily as a boy?

I kind of like the name Sterling, but one of the things that holds me back is its whether or not it would age well. Unfortunately, I've also only met Sterlings that were girls and so for me I think its rather feminine & part of that unisex trend.

It's ok, but nms. Actually I see it opposite. I can't see a little boy named Sterling, but I can easily see a man.
Just testing. I'll put something here later.

I think that Sterling would work on a grown man just fine, and I think that it is a great name!

I prefer Sterling as a girls' name. However, I don't know that it'd use it, because in most accents it is STUR-ling rather than STAIR-ling, which I dislike and would hear a lot.

I love the name Sterling and I know two 20 somethings named Sterling and its worked for them so far. I like the sound as well it seems rugged (ruged ?) or something. Go NE Patriots!

I like the name Sterling. I think it's very masculine and strong, and it'll suit any age.

It's a great name! I think it could definitely age well.

I absolutely love Sterling. I would have chosen it for my son except our last name is Silva. Not a good choice! :)

I used have neighbors with a little boy named Sterling Silver (Silver being the middle name). ~Lisa~
