Help[Opinions] Re: Thoughts on Serafina
in reply to a message by Serafina Starstrider
If I were you, I'd definitely push for Serafina! Let him have Arthur. Dante would make a handsome name for another son. ;-) I can't imagine it on a female at all due to its sheer masculinity.
Re: the spelling, I do prefer Serafina to Seraphina due to personal aesthetics, however, it would ultimately depend on the surname for me. For you, go with the spelling you prefer. I do think Sera is nice but not very special because of its similarity to Sara. You've got this gorgeous, exotic name, Serafina. Don't waste it on Sera! I like Fee / Fi, Fina and even Seri (although it may be misunderstood as Sara).
I think Serafina and Dante go very well together. Likewise, I'd rather see Seraphina in the same sibset with Arthur. Again, it's up to you. Life's too short to worry about what others think. BTW, I love Ciaran and Ciara. Love them. I just can't get on board with variant spellings. Call me a name snob, call me a purist, but I just think variant spellings detract from the integrity of a name.
