Re: Seraphina
in reply to a message by Dianatiger
Good question! Here's me throwing ideas at a wall:
Seraphina Bernadette - I like this. Bernadette, like Seraphina, feels religious, but unlike Seraphina, it's very warm, and far from glamorous. They play off of each other nicely.
Seraphina Catherine - tempting (great nun name!), but no. Catherine is too cold.
Seraphina Coral - a mermaid in a Disney movie.
Seraphina Cosette - this feels very Nameberry. If you get it you get it
Seraphina Esther - I like the sound, and Seraphina feels like a very starry name to me, which ties in nicely with Esther's meaning. But Esther, while not as cold as Catherine, is still not warm enough.
Seraphina Fern - quaintly Victorian, but too many Fs.
Seraphina Guinevere - melodramatic and gelid.
Seraphina Heather - Heather is unexpected. I genuinely find it pleasant, but it makes me think of the moors, which makes me think of shivering Gothic heroines, which is not the vibe I want with Seraphina.
Seraphina Hero - sparky and bright orange 🍊. This definitely makes Seraphina seem more fiery.
Seraphina Hildegard - nun.
Seraphina Hyacinth - too lacy.
Seraphina Léontine - theatrical and fiery and operatic. I like this one very much.
Seraphina Merope - ever so slightly mournful.
Seraphina Nephele - gauzy and dreamlike.
Seraphina Rachel - staid, straight-laced Rachel brings flighty Seraphina back to earth.
Seraphina Rosalind - a delightful shepherdess frolicking with her fleecy flock.
Seraphina Thisbe - hmm not quite. It's cold.
Seraphina Valerie - not warm enough either. They seem like two ballet dancers with different temperaments.
Seraphina Verity - British aristocrat in a historically inaccurate romance novel.
Hmm I think I'm most fond of Bernadette, Hero, and Léontine as middles. Do tell me what you think?
