I don't like Sailor (after the occupation) for a girl at all. However, I do like Selah for a girl, and I pronounce this similar to the word sailor, kinda like say-lah I guess. I think Selah is pretty.

I love the name Sailor. I've never known anyone with the name, or even anyone who knew someone... except I think Christie Brinkleys daughters name is Sailor. Anyways, as much as I like it I could never use a name like that. When people ask 'oh what's her name?' and you say 'Sailor.' no doubt you'd get plenty of rude comments or nasty looks.

Saylor is a surname, not just a respelling of the word. (Like Taylor is not a respelling of "tailor".) If I remember correctly, the surname Saylor means "acrobat".

Anyway, I don't mind the name but I admit it's *very* trendy, so not something I'd use in RL.

I don't like it at all. It seems extremely masculine to me.

I can't STAND this name. We listed our least favorites recently but I forgot about this one somehow. I just can't understand how anyone could find it to be an attractive name for a girl (haven't they heard of 'cursing like a sailor'? much less what else sailors do...), and spelling the word wrong doesn't make it any more feminine or "cute" imo at all.

Unless you're child is going to look like Christie Brinkley (gorgeous, blonde, & tall), I wouldn't use it but Ms. Brinkley could & did and it definitely suits her daughter. I only like it spelled in its traditional form (as I do with all word name) so SAILOR it is for me. Ultimately, I like it quite a bit but more so on someone else's child.

Definitely a bad name. I suppose it could be cute as a nn for a tomboyish little girl (like Scout), but it's not given name material at all.

i love Sailor! for boy or girl!

I personally wouldn't name my child that

I'll admit it is still a guilty pleasure of mine but i'd never use it on a real life child.
