For some reason I am less keen on Sabrina (wasn't that a witch on TV) but I love Sabina.

I personally much prefer Serena.

Beautiful name but I am biased. It's the name of the water nymph who gave the River Severn its name.

I like it. Quite unusual but not unheard of.

I love it, same reason as worldgonecrazy. My dad's not keen - there was a busty 50s pinup with that name, and the boys, boys, boys one. He's sort of put me off it.....

It's a gorgeous name, not that many of them around but easy to spell & pronounce.

I think more of Audrey Hepburn in 'Sabrina', lovely nameSmile

Thanks all. I think of Audrey Hepburn too, MelinaM, love that film. Interesting division of opinion, I think it's pretty and would set a child apart without them having a name that's too 'out there'.
backjustforaminute does your daughter's name get shortened?

pipparoo it hasn't yet, but she's only 3... actually I've called her Nana Blush since she was a baby, which she doesn't mind but if anyone else calls her that she does a big, heartfelt sigh and says "My real name is Sa-bri-na " Grin
