Sarah or Paisley?
| Sun, 06-20-2004 - 7:20pm |
I loved Sarah growing up, but now I am worried it is way too plain. I often do think it is way too plain. I have been hearing Paisley somewhat for the last couple of years..I have met 3-4 of them now. But then I worry Paisley might be too unusual. I already have the middle name so using both is not a possiblity. Besides, I am not going to call them by both so why bother to give both. What do you think?

Good luck with whatever you choose. :)

I do like slightly "different" names- I've loved Flannery, Bronwyn & Blythe for a long time. but I just don't think Paisley will stand the test of time. It's seems kind of like a hippie love child name from the 70s. When I see it it also makes me think of parsley, palsy & pastey.
If you have loved Sarah don't worry about it's popularity. Like another poster mentioned, it could also effect the names of any other kids you have. What would you name Paisley's little sister or brother? If you aren't planning on other kids then that's not a concern. That is what ultimately led us to our DDs name. As much as I loved Flannery I went with Eleanor(which I LOVE also-it was just a more traditional choice) I just can't see sibs named Paisley & Samantha or Paisley & Joseph, KWIM???

I also like the name Sarah, at the top of our list are the names Sally and Sadie, both are nicknames for Sarah and we have thought about using the name Sarah, and using Sally or Sadie for a nickname.
JMO-
Paisley sounds pretty phonetically, but immediately I think of that famous pattern. Peyton, on the other hand has the same "feel" (to me), but doesn't remind me of fabric.
Just thought I'd share my opinion...
