Sabrina?
What do you think of when you hear the name?
I want to use the name in a story, but I'm worried that
"Sabrina the Teenaged Witch" is what comes to mind....Wdyt?

I was actually just thinking about this name recently after watching Transamerica. The character named Sabrina in the movie usually went by Bree though. Sabrina has a pretty sound to it, but it's not one that I would use. This is probably because I didn't exactly get along with a girl named Sabrina in my 3rd grade class. I don't automatically think of "Sabrina the Teenage Witch".

Very Audrey Hepburn related, and who can't love her?!? But Sabrina's one of those names that fits at any age.

I love this name :-) It makes me think of the Audrey Hepburn movie, which is why I always associate it with someone very beautiful, elegant, classy, and sophistocated. I don't think the "teenage witch" association is too heavy, if that's what you weer afraid of.

I was actually just thinking about this name, how I'd love to give it to a child right now! Yes, Sabrina the Teenage Witch comes to mind, but so does a babysitter I had, a counselor at a camp I went to, and my friend's cat. So not only The Teenage Witch comes to mind for me. Plus people say I look like her, and that's cool, hehe.I really love the name. It's pretty, but not too common. I think I'd love to have a little girl named Sabrina and call her "Bean." Hmm, for a story, I don't think it screams Teenage Witch. It's a recognized name, and it is heard in other places. There are somethings that are only attached to one character (like Hermione-Harry Potter, or Elphaba-Wicked). But it's a name that works in real life on a normal person, and would therefor be believable on a character. So, go for it!

That's good. The girl in the story is sweet, innocent, niave and unassuming. Anyone ever heard of a story with Sabrina the Fair or Sabrina Fair? I seem to think that it's part of a poem....

In the movie Sabrina, she recites a poem called Sabrina Fair but that is the only reason I have heard of it.
