I love it, but it's a "guilty pleasure" kind of love because so many people think it's downmarket and terminally trendy. I also think of Toyotas and of Sienna Miller, but it's easier for me to move past those associations than it would be for me to use an name that people think is cheap. I'm sure that says something bad about me. I prefer Siena because it makes me think of the place and the earthiness of the pigment, and I feel it diminishes the other associations. I may be fooling myself, though.

Sienna seems like such a graceful name, I picture someone tall and lean, with a lot of strength and fluidity of motion. Like an athlete or dancer.
