  1. Our first daughter was born in Arizona (Sonoran desert) and we thought this was a beautiful and perfect name for her to tribute where she was born and was also unique and nature related, which we loved.

  2. I named my daughter after the movie as well and just recently read the book about Sonora’s life. I love the name and get a lot of compliments on it. I love that it’s so unique and beautiful.

  3. I was born in 1970 and was named Sonora, living in a small rural town in Southern Alberta Canada with such a unique name, proved to be a challenge among all the Kimberley’s, Cheryl’s and Jennifer’s. I learned very quickly how to spell and pronounce my name since most people didn’t see the second O and called me Sondra. I’m now 50, and because of my unique name, I am remembered!

  4. I named my daughter Sonora Kate in 2020. Everyone in my small town struggles to remember it and spelling it has proven to be challenging to them as well ? I love it more and more each & every single time I say it aloud. Her big & proud sister is Ruby Dove

  5. It’s from my favorite childhood movie “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken” based on a true story about Sonora Webster.

      • I love my name, it has been unique in the best way! Correction sometimes always happens but my name fits me and I love it. My dad said he named me from a sleeping beauty tale he heard.

  6. I love the movie “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken” And the main character’s name is Sonora Webster. I picked Sonora because it is a name that i liked that begins with the letter “S” And she is a twin to her Brother Salem, and i wanted there names to start with the same letter. 🙂 I love the name because it is unique, and it just suits her now that i know her 🙂 All of my kids have Unique Names. In order… Aubriella, Allyana, Salem, Sonora. Sonora Is spunky, Sassy and outspoken, just like the character in the movie 🙂
