HelpSloane
I KNOW a lot of people on here think Sloane / Sloan is one of if not THE ugliest name out there (though I would redirect them to Greer) and I admit and acknowledge that the sound is not very appealing. However…
Every time I see / hear / think of it it reminds me of Ferris Bueller’s Day off which I absolutely adore and the character Sloane Peterson and I can’t help but be fond of it.
So give me your opinions anyway! And do you prefer Sloane or Sloan (if you had to choose)?

I like Sloane for a similar reason. I was a fan of the tv show The Bold Type and Jane Sloan was one of the main characters, but her friends called her Sloan all the time. I prefer the Sloane spelling and I actually like it. I am not normally a fan of last names as first names, especially not for girls.

I actually kind of like it for some reason. I’m not really into Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, so it’s not that.

I actually don’t hate it. I think it’s kind of cool sounding and wouldn’t mind being a Sloane although I wouldn’t use it. It reminds me of Grey’s Anatomy, Sloan was Mark Sloan’s daughter. I think I prefer Sloane but they’re both alright.
ETA: I also don’t hate Greer as much as the average BtNer so I guess I just have weird taste lol.

I like it. It reminds me of the character from “Ferris Bueller's Day Off”.

Terrible, if I had to choose Sloane

This is going to date me but I think of the young Princess Diana and how she was known as one of the "Sloane Rangers", a name based on some area of London where young well-to-do adults live in apartments paid for by their aristocratic families. So for me Sloane is kind of a "poor little rich girl" sort of name, which gives it some personality at least!
If I had to choose, I think I'd go with Sloane, that e on the end makes it slightly more human.

I have the same associations. And they do not inspire me to any affection for the name, the place or the people. At gunpoint, I'd prefer Sloane because a friend's birth ln was Sloan, no e, so with an e it becomes marginally less surnamey.
