I agree and I like them both.

One of my best friend's older sister is named Sheridan. (Granted, my friend's name was Madison and she was a girl too.) Sheridan always made me think of hotels for some reason, though.

I dislike Greer. It just sounds like a surname to me.

Both names sound stricktly male to me (but if I had to use one of them on a girl, I'd definitely go for Greer)

Sheridan makes me think of the hilarious British sitcom Keeping Up The Appearances. The main character Hyacinth has an adult son who never really appears in the show, but she adores him to bits even though he only calls her when he needs money. While there's nothing wrong with the name itself, I can't help but laugh when I hear the name Sheridan and simply can't take it very seriously - it just makes me think of a ridicilously spoiled, immature person like Sheridan :-)

I kinda like Greer, thoguh. It's not really my style, but something about it does appeal to me.

Greer is ok, but since Brooke Shields named her dd Grier (I really dislike that spelling), I've lost interest in it. :-/ Sheridan is nms on either gender.

I do like Sheridan-for a girl. It's kind of cute. But Greer to me is awful. If I had to choose, I would rather see it on a boy. Greer does not have a pretty sound, or much of a sound at all! It sounds like smear. Poor Grier Henchy! Brooke Shields could have picked a much nicer name imo.

I honestly don't like either. Sheridan is completely a surname to me (the Sheridan family is powerful in my old high school, lol, so it's one I recognize immediately as belonging after the first name), and Greer sounds very surnamey too, to me. And unfortunately, not surnamey in such a way that I want to adopt it for use as a first name.

Because they're surnames, you can do what you please with them--if you'd rather use Greer on a boy, I think that'd be fine. It's not terribly common, so I don't see it causing problems in the future. And, of course, Sheridan was used on a girl in this or that soap opera in the 80s, so it's not completely unheard-of on a chick.

She had fallen against the windows, which were pressed against the windows, which were pressed against the old oak near across the age of the old Aunt Sophronia--was almost dreadful enough to walk on.

A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

I love Greer butr on a girl

Greer simply doesn't sound like a name at all. And if so, it should be for a boy (it's unisex though). I find Sheridan suitable for both genders.

Only as MN: Samantha, Erin, Emma, Ebony, Ellinor, Eileen,

I like Greer for a girl, though I prefer it in the middle spot. I think it sounds nice with a frillier first name.

---

Sheridan...I have a soft spot for this name, though I'd never use it. I like it better for a boy, but could see it on a girl, too.

I consider Greer a girls' name because I've only heard of it on Greer Garson. As or Sheridan ... it's probably considered feminine because of other girls' Sher- names - Sherry, Sheryl etc.

---

These are just my personal leanings though. As with most surnames, I think they're both unisex in theory.

---

(Oh, and I like Sheridan - partly due to my guilty pleasure that is Tommy Sheridan! - but not Greer in the slightest. It reminds me of 'rear' lol.)
