Hi Billina !!!
My first associations with Temple are: Shirley Temple, Temple Bar (Dublin) and Shirley Temple drink.
The link with temple (building) comes later.
The vibe of Temple is mainly Hollywood and Irish with a bit of cherries.
Also if we think about the temple, this name is not worse than many others...
The origin of Cillian / Killian or Kirk is "church" so why not Temple for a girl? ^^
It is cute!

Horrid.

Pretty darn stupid, frankly. I suppose Abigail shortens to Abbey! And I've heard of but never met a Shula ...
And my first thought was that I read one book once - I think there are several in the series - that featured a female detective who was (a) an alcoholic and (b) known as Tempe or Tempy or something, but her actual name was Temperance. Don't think I finished the book.

Temple Grandin

She immediately comes to mind. I actually read Miriam a picture book about her not long ago.
Beyond on that association I'm not a fan. It comes across as Southern, trendy, or religious.

I saw her in the newspaper not too long ago ...
She gave a talk at the Civic Center in Salisbury.
Her picture made her look like a homeless woman who'd gotten into some kid's dress-up box.

Wow.

Thankfully her clothing choices don't detract from her degrees, experiences, or awards.

Yes. Seconded. Ditto.

I once saw a documentary on her, if I remember correctly some of her clothing choices are related to her sensory issues. For what it's worth, while I wouldn't dress like her I think her style is pretty cool.

Is that Faulkner's Sanctuary? I've never actually read it, but I remember there being a character name Temple, who gets kidnapped and raped, so not really the best association.
