Our story of Sharene
Sharon and Sharlene were both loved in their day, and families made new names in the space between them. Sharene takes the Shar- of Sharon and gives it the long -ene ending of Irene and Darlene, so that the name rises at its close. It is a small variation on a much-loved sound, and it is complete in itself.
