[Opinions] Seneca on a girl?
What do you think of Seneca on a girl? I've been liking it more and more lately.

sounds like a name to put on a car rather than a little girl.

Roots be darned, it sounds like a girl name to me! I like it. Although I have the sneaking suspicion that car manufacturers might use it - if they haven't already.

I think you're thinking of Renault Scénic?

nopeI definitely am not as I've never heard of it. I think it just fits with things like Sienna, Epica, and such.

Ha ha! That's crossed my mind before. I'm half expecting to see a commercial for the 2012 Toyota Seneca or something.

Maybe an upgrade from the Sienna? :)

this!I was just thinking about this name recently, and I agree that it sounds very feminine to me, but I understand the masculine background... I like it on a girl more though.As for the car thing, I looked it up because I agreed it sounded familiar, and Dodge made a Seneca in '60 and '61, but it was a nice looking car and pretty darn old for a child born now to be connected to. :)

Kind of a GP girls name for me, too, even though the roots are pretty masculine. I can see how the Seneca Falls Convention would make it more acceptable for a girl, though. I really like the sound and look.

I like it! I loved it when I was younger and now it's more of a GP, but I'd be happy if I met one.

It sounds like it could be a girls' name (like Monica or Jessica), but I associate it with the Roman guy-- I just associate it too much with a man.

To be honest I always thought it was a girls name. So I love it on a girl but its also manly on a guy so it works for either.

Huge guilty pleasure for me, mainly due to one of the main characters in the game Suikoden Tactics:

(That teeny-tiny thing under the box in the upper right corner links to a picture.)I have many names I like for silly reasons, though.

I seem to recall that there is some Native American link - all I can think of is the Roman author and educator, and that makes it firmly masculine. And, equally firmly, a ln. As for using it on a girl, I just don't know why anyone would bother.

I like it as a girls' name in part because of the connection with the Seneca Falls Convention, if that gives any explanation as to why anyone would bother.
