Just terrible.

That would be a horrible name. Please don’t do that.

Flash forward, 21 years, your daughter meeting someone at a bar. It's loud. They say, what's your name? Response: Torrance. Florence? No, Torrance. Terrance? No, Torrence.

Flash forward, 23 years, your daughter is in an important meeting, shaking hands with higher-ups and introducing herself. Now repeat the questions above, and she'll have to come up with some dumb jokey-explanation like, Yeah, I guess my parents had a good vacation there. People will assume she was conceived there. Awkward chuckles.

It’s an Irish boy’s name. In Scottish, the meaning is from the craggy hills, and tor is a scotch word for little hilltop.

Torrid Torrance. Not a good.

Do you like the nn Tori? Just go with Victoria or even just Tori.

No, we don’t like Tori or Theresa. We don’t really care about the meaning. We just like the sound of the name and think it looks pretty written out.

She's going to get called Terrance.

FYI, they’re making Bring It On into a musical. So I don’t think the name association will fade. If it is popular, like the Mean Girls musical, it’ll only get worse.

(We don't care it was the name of the main character in Bring It On. We're just both into the name.)

For a girl? It is a not a great name. Brings mind "Torrid". It doesn't even sound like a name. Use it as a middle name if you must.

Agreed. It’s pretty bad, especially for a girl.

+1. This is a really awful name OP.

Torrance (dreadful name) is only two syllables. Why do you think you need a short filler middle name?

The prettiest full names usually have varied syllables so go with a three syllable middle name.

This is a first name? For a girl? Good god, just don't. Why not Therese or something
