    How about Seezenna with a silent z......sorry, being really silly now!
    I was going to add 'pqux' in there with a silent 'pqux' but decided against it because I didn't think anyone would appreciate my warped sense of humor. Lol

    I love both names, we had Isabelle on our list and i liked Sienna but a friend named her daughter that.. who cares if it's popular.
    DD1's name was the only 1 we chose, turns out it ended up being the most popular name at the time and we had no idea!

    I like both names, they are both really pretty. Isabelle is rather popular here atm, but I've only met one sienna.

    Um...what's a Bogan? I'v never heard that before?

    Urban dictionary:
    Bogan
    Australian term used to describe members of society that are a combination of what the Yanks call Rednecks, Jocks and Trailer Park Trash. most likely found wearing mockies, flanalette shirts and consuming VB (bad Aussie beer). Large amount of bogans can be found living in The Borough, Bendigo, Aust.
    "check out the bogans in that pos commodore
    Think Kath and Kim and you'd be on the right track.

    Babyluv personally I don't ind either name although both are quite popular now so your daughter might have a few Siennas in her class (That said my second is an Oliver- common as muck these days).

    Just out of interest, the authors of "Freakonomics" suggest that names become "boganised" over time:

    In Freakonomics, the authors answer that question by stating that, based on their statistical examination of data, names move through the population from a higher socioeconomic level to a lower level. Levitt and Dubner found "a clear pattern at play: once a name catches on among high-income, highly-educated parents, it starts working its way down the socioeconomic ladder." When the name is adopted "en masse," then "high-end parents begin to abandon it," and the whole cycle repeats itself with a new batch of names.
