Re: Sally and Sarah
in reply to a message by Anneza
I like them both. Sally sounds fun and lively to me, because of the y ending and the phrase ' to sally forth'. Sarah is classic and sensible and strong-sounding.
All the Sallys I have known have been born between 1950 and 1975, so it goes with names like Susan and Jackie for me, but I think it's cheerful enough to resist a dated feel.
I've known more Sarahs than I can count, of all ages, but it's still a favourite name and a family name, so of the two, it's the one I'd choose to be called. Names that seem to fit with it: Caroline, Emma and Ellen.
