[Opinions] Sally
Wdyt of Sally? Can it stand on its own as a fn? I think it ages well, but do you? Do you have any snappy mn suggestions for Sally?

It's nice, but I prefer it as a nickname (for Sarah or Allison).-- Sarah

I think names like Sally and Molly can stand on their own because they're so different from Sarah and Mary and because much of the history and knowledge of how nns came about has been lost (sadly).

I love it. It's spunky and very cute, in the off-beat way. Makes me think of Ragdoll-Sally from A Nightmare Before Christmas :-) I think it's strong enough to be a full name, and I think it ages well.

I love it, and Sal too. I think it could definitely stand on its own. It's not very, very nicknamey, it was only originally a nn, it's like naming a kid Jack. Btw, my mother has one of the most nicknamey names possible, and people are used to it, even with a Dr. written in front of it. It ain't a problem.And about the middle names, sorry, I'm not very good at them. I really like Array's suggestion of Sally Jane, though.Maybe Sally Roxane or Sally Igraine?

Well my fn is Sally so yeah it works on its own! :o)I've always liked my name and I think it suits me just as well now that I'm 23 as it did when I was 3. My middle name is Jayne and I also know a Sally Anne.

I love it--I think of Sally the ragdoll first and foremost, and you really can't get cooler than Tim Burton, right? ;) Besides that, I think it sounds really smart and refreshing after all these Shayley-Shaelyn-etc kids.I prefer it with a shorter middle name (and I have to admit that I wouldn't say no to using both first and middle name, hehe).Off the top of my head (have I hit any you like?):Sally Jane
Sally Pearl
Sally Harriet
Sally Primrose
Sally Rosaleen
Sally Tacita
Sally Marina
Sally Mariska
Sally June
Sally Quinn
Sally Jemima
Sally Sophia
