Help[Opinions] Re: Thoughts on Serafina
in reply to a message by Serafina Starstrider
It sounds as if you will end up doing what my parents did: Dad chose the male names and Mom chose the feminine ones, but each got a veto on the other's choice. For example, Dad's favorite for a boy was Percy which made my mother run screaming from the room. So he used his back-up choice Peter, which Mom was fine with. I can't imagine my brother Peter being a Percy!
So yeah, if you're willing to give him the boy's name that is dear to his heart he should be willing to give you what you desire most -- assuming he has no strong objections to it. In the end you both have to love (or at least like) the name.
Serafina / Seraphina is gorgeous. I would use the nn Seffie or Sera, but Fina is sweet too. Personally I can't see Dante on a girl, but Serafina Dante does flow well as a combo.
Arthur, Kieran and Serafina all share an artsy, intellectual charm. They blend together surprisingly well. Although, to me any names that are classics blend well. :-P I think it's more important that their names sound well with your surname and will serve them individually throughout their lives, rather than how well they match each other. You are not naming candle sticks.
So relax, breathe, and multiply safe in the knowledge that little Serafina will one day thank you for giving her such a kick-a$$ name. :-)
