[Opinions] Re: Sightings & Seraphina
in reply to a message by LillieMae87
I started liking Ibis as a name after reading "The Scarlet Ibis" circa 2003; coincidentally, Thisbe was one of my favorite names around that time. I still like them and am happy that someone used them.
I think Seraf could work, as in: it's not hard to see how you got it from Serafina, and people would use it if you asked. But considering that it mostly reminds me of words ("sheriff" "tariff" "giraffe" "carafe" "staph"), I don't like it.
I think Sera would be the most natural or obvious NN for most people. I'd be more likely to go with Phina / Fina, which I think is cute.
Maybe even Rafi / Raphi could work (I'd prefer that to Seraf / Seraph).
