I really like it, I think it's my favourite form of the name (although I like Séraphine too).
Serafima is strong and striking where
Seraphina is a little precious and elaborate. I think
Serafima is like
Valentina, it seems like a kind of romantic name but it's really steely. Not at all soft. Also,
Serafima is a nice pink-red colour for me and
Seraphina is purpler/kind of colourless. That said, it's still a lot of name.
I love the nickname
Sima.
