[Opinions] boooriiiiing (m)
in reply to a message by Dragon_Clarinet
Ok, it's a gorgeous name to start with, but yes, it is too common. I guess it's common because it is gorgeous, but it's a good example of how great names can be spoiled by overuse.
The colors it suggests to me are yellow-gold and brown. I always picture Sarah as a brunette (though obviously I met Sarah's of every shade and hue).

So "boooriiiiiiing" is an appropriate comment but "weird" and "pretentious" are mean?
uh?
Who's saying weird and pretentious are mean comments? As far as I'm concerned, they're perfectly acceptable and I'd never seen anyone else consider them mean.
I didn't even say I found Sarah ugly, that it was actually a nice name made boring by overuse. I just happen to like names that are neither too out-there nor the name of every other person. Btw, I know on my skin what it's like to have a super-popular name, and I didn't enjoy the experience, so it's not out of snobbishness I dislike very common names.
Do you ever make posts for purposes other than criticizing other people here?

It's funny how technically it's really common, and I've only ever known two. And one *always* went by Sally.
I think it's really pretty and ages well. I don't see names in colours :S
