Re: Seraphina
in reply to a message by LiaMaria
I think Seraphina is a nice. It may have been pretentious maybe twenty, even ten, years ago but now it fits in with long, elegant girl names such as Isabella, Valentina, Arabella etc.
I don't like Sera and I think Sadie is a HUGE stretch (plus I think it's clunky and ugly takes dramatically away from the beauty of Seraphina).
Yes, Seraphina is a mouthful, especially if you're 3 year old is introducing herself to her preschool classmates. However, a nickname doesn't roll off the tongue either, the only other one that springs to my mind as making sense is Fifi and if you're trying to avoid pretentiousness I'd avoid that too!
Seri might be the only option left, too close to the mobile 'helper' Siri? Maybe, but a young child - which I'm envisaging this being used on - wouldn't care a dot.
