  • Why it was given to you
    • No reason in particular or that I know of, other than that it is a simple, common name and my parents are fond of simple, common names.
  • Opinion on the name
    • It's too plain and boring and well-known in my opinion. I think the meaning is great (who doesn't want to be named a princess?) but there's nothing special about it at all. If I ever have children, I won't make the mistake my parents did of giving me an utterly boring *yawn* name. I would have liked a name with personality, something different. But Sarah isn't a horrible name. It's just plain.
