I'm a non-binary person of Caribbean descent (Trinidad & Tobago), and I picked this as my name! I can't believe that it fits me so well. There is no other name that has genuinely felt as good as this one for me. I give this name a huge thumbs up. It can sound good on anyone, regardless of gender.

It names me think of the word Sorrow. But I think Sorrow sounds like a nice name too if it wasn't for the meaning.

The name is okay, but the meaning "sour" isn't very attractive.

As others have said, it looks and sounds far too much like “sorry” for my liking and the “sour” meaning doesn’t do it any favours either. Not keen.

Pretty. But sounds sad. Like sorry or sorrows.

My name is Sorrel. My parents named me after my great grandpa for his red hair and the red color of the horse. I love the name and have always loved answering questions about it.

I named my daughter Sorrel in May of 1971 after the color of the horse. I thought it was a beautiful name then, and I think it's a beautiful name now! And I never realized characters in books and others are named Sorrel.

Sorrell is actually my name, no joke it is honestly my first name. I was named after an Anglo Saxon priestess way back when because my mother liked the name. I pronounce it So-rul where as others say So-rell. There's no right or wrong way in regards to pronouncing or spelling. (Dad added an L due to being hungover the day he registered me). Kids these days are being named after all sorts, so why not go for something different yet with flare =)

I don't think the "sour" meaning really matters, the name itself doesn't sound sour at all. I think it's a pretty name and I quite like it. I grew up with a friend name Sorrel so it never really stood out as an unusual name to me.

I do like it pronounced 'Sore-awl'. It is a common surname too.

Sorrel doesn't sound like it ought to be a person's name. I generally don't think it's a good idea to name children after herbs (Rosemary being an exception, as Rose and Mary are given as names often). Sorrel sounds like a great name for a rabbit, though.

I think this is a really interesting name; I like the way it sounds, if not its meaning. But, lemons are sour and I like them.

This is a difficult one. Some sources relate it to the plant, others relate it to a French origin with two 'l's meaning 'reddish-brown'. I was more or less nicknamed it after my great grandmother as a Yiddish derivative of Sarah.
