Sabrina is one of my longest-standing very favorite names, even from when I was a kid. It always seemed magical to me - though little of that influence was "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" (which was on when I was a kid). No, what really fostered my love of this name was the movie Sabrina, specifically the 90s adaptation starring Harrison Ford and Julia Ormond. (I know the Audrey Hepburn version is the classic, but I'm more familiar with Sydney Pollack's adaptation.) I loved the idea of the poem she was named after, "Sabrina Fair" (she was Sabrina Fairchild). I loved her character. It's a dry movie for most kids, but what can I say, I was a weird kid.

How weird? I also loved (still do) the name Ursula, because I heard it in The Little Mermaid. I liked the villain's name better than that of the mermaid princess, and used to think about having little girls named Sabrina & Ursula...
