I actually think Greer is fine as a modern girl's name.

However, it drove me up the wall when it was used to name one of Mary Queen of Scots' ladies in waiting in the TV series "Reign", centuries before anyone actually thought of naming a baby girl Greer.

I don’t hate it. I think it would be nice for a character.

No it’s kind of charming, possibly because of Greer Garson.

There are worse...Blair for instance. Sloane, is indeed awful, but Ainsley is worse, sounds like gastro-intestinal distress.

Nope. I actually quite like it. Then again, I love Sloane which people are saying is worse.

I dislike it, but I quite like Briar. Am I a hypocrite?))

I'm surprised at people saying that Sloane is worse than Greer! It definitely isn't.

Greer is horrible and if anything sounds like an angry cat growling and getting ready to attack; the "reeer" part in particular is ear-piercing and unwelcoming. Sloane at least has that soft-sound "s" sound; Greer on the other hand is so harsh and violent sounding, like someone scratching deep into their own skin.

I actually kind of like it but I don’t think I have the guts to use it. Same with Sloane.

I hate most names that stick in the back of my throat. That includes both Sloane and Greer, but also some classic names like Beulah and some downright popular ones like Lucy.

One of the ugliest for sure.
Sloan and Tatum could compete. Maybe Piper too ... but if we bring in surnames there are just too many unappealing ones to contemplate.

I like it.

Idk I like the Association with Greer Garson. I had a classmate named Greer who was named after her that was very classy too. NMS but makes me think old Hollywood than unappealing

One of them, I guess. It sounds like greed.

I agree ...

It's ugly as homemade sin. I'd think it was equally ugly on a boy. Like someone grinding his teeth down to nubs while trying to start up a car that should have been junked five years ago.

I think Sloane beats it out, but it's a close race.
