HelpThoughts on Serafina
I've been thinking a lot about Serafina lately.
I always felt like maybe I would just choose to use Dante for a daughter since it was my partners favorite girls name. But his favorite girls name means a lot less to him than my favorites girls name. And in the years since I was first thinking this my partner has expressed to me how important naming our first son Arthur is to him. With time it has grown in importance to him. He was thinking at first it didn't even need to be Arthur, maybe Arturus or Artair or a daughter Artemis since his grandpa hated his own name but loved Artie. But lately he's been wanting a son Arthur more and more. Keiran was always our favorite boy's name but now there is a chance we might not end up using it.
So lately I've been thinking a lot about Serafina. It has been my favorite name since I first heard it in middle school. I still have quite a few years since we plan on starting to have children. But I've been thinking that maybe I should push for Serafina if he gets to choose Arthur and agree to use Dante or whatever name he would want for a second daughter if we have one. What are your thoughts on the matter? Also no matter what even if I don't push for Serafina I plan on us using Arthur for our first son if it is still important to him.
Also neither of us are Polish or Italian. Do you feel that it is weird for us to name a daughter Serafina if we aren't Italian or Polish? I do have the tiniest bit of Portuguese in my ethnic background.
Also what are your gut reactions to Serafina with the nn Sera or Fi / Fee? Also what nn do you prefer for Serafina? Sera, Fina, Fi / Fee, or something else?
Do you feel that Serafina goes well with Arthur and Keiran? What about Arthur and Dante (g)? What about Arthur and Keira my partners second favorite girls if we didn't have a Keiran?
Thank you for your responses. :) Feel free to respond to all or just one or two of my questions if you don't feel like giving feedback on all my musings.
