Five-name Friday: Girl name like Sharon

You’re in line at the convenience store, picking up some last minute eggnog, when the nice lady behind you (who happens to be pregnant) strikes up a conversation. While the two of you chat, she mentions that she’s still searching for a baby name:

I need a girl name that honors a close friend named Sharon. So, anything that’s a play off Sharon, but has a younger sound.

“Do you have any suggestions?”

You’re a name-lover, and you could potentially give her dozens of suggestions. But the line is moving rather quickly, so you only have time to give her five baby name suggestions before you reach the cashier.

But here’s the fun part: Instead of blurting out the first five names you come up with, you get to press a magical “pause” button, brainstorm for a bit, and then “unpause” the scenario to offer her the best five names you can think of.

Here are a few things to keep in mind as you brainstorm:

  • Be independent. Decide on your five names before looking at anyone else’s five names.
  • Be sincere. Would you honestly suggest these particular baby names out loud to a stranger in public?
  • Five names only! All names beyond the first five in your comment will be either deleted or replaced with nonsense words.

Finally, here’s the request again:

I need a girl name that honors a close friend named Sharon. So, anything that’s a play off Sharon, but has a younger sound.

Which five baby names are you going to suggest?
