I don't think Seraphina is too much but it is a little more frilly looking than Serafina. Seraphina could also go by Seri or Seraph or Phina or Phee. I prefer Serafina because the nn's Fina and Fi / Fee look better to me, Seraph isn't as natural a nn for Serafina but it still works.

Seraphine is also nice but then Phina and Phee don't work as well as nn's but Seri or Sera or Seraph still work just as well. Seraphine can get away with having no nn's easier than Seraphina since Seraphine is a syllable shorter.

I prefer Seraphine, because I think Seraphina is overly frilly. That said, I don't mind it.

I could see either getting shortened to Sera, but I don't think it's really a huge deal. You can always correct people if you don't like it.

I love both, and I also like Sarafina. I think right now Seraphine is my favorite.

Seraphine is my fav. I think Seraphina is too long for it not to get shortened to Sera (or Phina).

Seraphina!
Love, love, love it. Seraphine is alright as well, but Seraphina is a lot better. I don't think it HAVE to be shortened to Sera. There are other possibilities, and she could be just Seraphina. But I love Sera as well.

Seraphine

I prefer Seraphine, since it's a family name. My mom chose it as one of my middle names after her mother (my Granny). When I have a daughter...I'll likely be passing this name on.

---

I think Seraphina has been getting way too much attention lately. It's a nice name but soon it'll become the next Sophia.

As for shortening, it probably will like most longer names.
