The first place I encountered the name Sheridan on a girl (or anyone) was on the soap opera Passions; I then heard it as the name of the unseen son of Hyacinth Bucket on Keeping Up Appearances. So it's a fun GP for me too! Ohh, I love Sheridan Elke; there's something very fun and 70s about it. Sheridan Ivy is a very appealing combo. It came to mind right away for me, and I see that others have thought of it as well.
I have never heard of those shows!I'm glad you picked up on the 70s-ish vibe!
I think of Nicollette Sheridan and Elke Sommer

While Sheridan is considered more feminine now, it was historically masculine; and if I were to encounter a "Sheridan Avery _____" in the wild, I'd assume the name belonged to a man who was named after an ancestor.That said, I think Sheridan pairs best with a middle name beginning with a vowel. For this reason, Sheridan Elodie is my favorite of the combos you've posted, but the three-syllable (with first syllable stressed) rhythm of both names is a bit repetitious. I would also avoid a middle name that also ended with an N-sound.Might I suggest...Sheridan Alessia
Sheridan Amelia
Sheridan Arista
Sheridan Audrey
Sheridan Elise
Sheridan Emilia
Sheridan Eve
Sheridan Felice
Sheridan Frances
Sheridan Iris
Sheridan Isolde
Sheridan Ivy
Sheridan Marie (a little cliché, but I think it goes)
Sheridan Olive
Sheridan Olivia
I know Sheridan is typically male (and Avery), which is why they are guilty pleasures.Sheridan Eve is nice and Sheridan Ivy as well.
Sheridan is a fun name~Sheridan Avery is my favorite of your combos. I don't like that Sheridan Corinne sort of rhymes.Sheridan Lucille
Sheridan Clarisse
Sheridan Blake
Sheridan Eugenie
Sheridan Penrose (doubling down on the surnames lol)
Sheridan Georgette
Sheridan Elise
Sheridan Annelise
Sheridan Elise is nice.Corinne does not rhyme, actually, because it is pronounced KOR-een.
Ah, I pronounce it ka-RIN
I knew a Corinne who pronounced it KOR-een, and I knew a Korin who pronounced it as you do.
Sheridan Hyacinth (the y dangles though)
Sheridan Elizabeth - classic
Sheridan Marguerite (Marguerite means daisy)
Sheridan Rose - pretty
Sheridan Violet
Sheridan Rose and Sheridan Violet both have good flow.
I forgot to add that I like the nickname Sher.
I like Sheridan Corinne the best of these choices. Followed by Sheridan Farrah and Sheridan Fiona.
