I never really liked it until I listened to an F. Scott FitzGerald story on CD. (I'm so lazy.) The character was named Sally Carol. She was from the (U.S.) South and was visiting the North. The Northerners kept trying to shorten her name to Sally, but she liked the sound of Sally Carol. In her soft, Southern accent I had to admit that it was very pretty. That's what got my turned around on the name Sally.

I know a woman with an 11 year old dd Sally. I should ask her the next time we meet where her name comes from -- whether she's named after someone or the parents just liked the name.

Sally Ann is a little unimaginative. But in a world of Brytnees and Madysyns perhaps a Sally Ann would make a nice change after all.

I'm still rooting for Betty Jean. But Sally Ann would make an adorable sister for her.
