Myrraya
Feminine but not overly feminine, mature sounding so that it can grow up with her
Caitlin
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.
Elisabeth
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.
Sonora
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!
Emily Lege
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
Amanda
It’s from my favorite childhood movie “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken” based on a true story about Sonora Webster.
Sherry Castro
Yes, this is where I got the name Sonora for my daughter.
Sonora
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.
Skye
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
