[Opinions] Sloane
I have suddenly taken a liking to the name Sloane. I think it's unique and flows rather nicely, but I have not been able to find a middle name that goes good with it. What are some suggestions you may have?

It's not really my taste, I think of the U.K. stereotype of "sloane rangers" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sloane_Ranger.However, if you do like it, I'd go with a rather feminine, classic middle name to balance it out.

I think Sloane is a horribly ugly and downbeat name, and also, I don't see it as flowing well with other names at all. It's likely to just sound like Slowin' Middlename, not attractive at all.And it's sure not unique. It's pretty tryndee, like Harlow and McKinley, not really popular yet but kind of Hollywood Popular.I was reading a news story last week, and a spokeswoman for some school district or other was named Sloane Roach. So ugly.

Coincidentally, I just stumbled upon a post on another site from a person who named their daughter Sloane Thora Eunice. Which I think is pretty awesome. Other ideas: Sloane Magdalene, Sloane Magdala, perhaps Sloane Cordelia, Daphne Sloane, Julie / Julia Sloane, Sloane Julia, Sloane Guinevere, Sloane Diantha, Sloane Adelaide, Sloane Adele, Sloane Octavia, Sloane Isabelle / Isabel, Sloane Frederica (fred-REE-ka), Sloane Amabel (is it just me or does Amabel sound like I'm a bell?), Sloane Timothea, Beatrix Sloane, Sloane Beatrice, Sloane Ophelia, Sloane Georgette, Sloane Rohesia, Sloane Odelia, Sloane Michelle, Amity Sloane, Sloane Amalie / Amalia ...wow, it is not easy to pair Sloane. I hope this helps a little!
