[Opinions] Re: Sloane
in reply to a message by Ani
This is going to date me but I think of the young Princess Diana and how she was known as one of the "Sloane Rangers", a name based on some area of London where young well-to-do adults live in apartments paid for by their aristocratic families. So for me Sloane is kind of a "poor little rich girl" sort of name, which gives it some personality at least! If I had to choose, I think I'd go with Sloane, that e on the end makes it slightly more human.

I have the same associations. And they do not inspire me to any affection for the name, the place or the people. At gunpoint, I'd prefer Sloane because a friend's birth ln was Sloan, no e, so with an e it becomes marginally less surnamey.
