Sabrina - pretty and under used or do you think of the teenage witch?

[GoldenDaffodil]

I think it's lovely but I'm not sure if enough time has passed to escape the 'teenage witch' label. Thought please - thanks

[tiredoftrains]

Honestly - both! I like it but it does have certain wiggly nosed connotations...

[RustyBear]

There's a Sabrina at the school I work at - I can honestly say I have never thought of the teenage witch when I see her, even though I used to watch it every day with DD on Nickelodeon.

[LegoCaltrops]

It reminds me of Audrey Hepburn, actually, very elegant.

[NadiaWadia]

Wasn't 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch' on in the 90s? So by the time your DD is going to school I am sure her generation won't have a clue about that.

It's lovely.

[GoldenDaffodil]

Well that's comforting Rusty. I must confess I watched the show as a teenager but when I came across the name in a baby names book my first thought was how pretty it was and it took a while to think of the witch.

I thought Audrey Hepburn. I used to watch the teenage witch and the connection didn't occur to me until I read your post.

I think classy and underused.

[GoldenDaffodil]

I thought of the Audrey Hepburn film too LegoCaltrops.

Showing my age now, but it reminds me of the 80's Italian pop singer/glamour model who sang "Boys" in her see-through white bikini! I wouldn't mind the witch connection, but the sleazy image of her in the pool puts me right off the name!

I do think teenage witch but I think that's why I like it

[freelancegirl]

I was thinking the same thing yesterday! Was idly wondering whether both Sabrina the teenage witch and also Sabrina of Boys Boys Boys fame would put me off. But it's a lovely name.

[meditrina]

I like it.

I wouldn't think teenage witch, rather Charlie's Angels.

[OhNoYouExpedidnt]

I think teenage witch straight away BUT that's because it's the only one I know. If it was the name of someone I actually knew I would think of them. I say go for it!

[Sundaedelight]

Sabrina is very underused and yet most are familiar with it. A very pretty name, used to know a German Sabine.

[HyvaPaiva]

It makes me think of Audrey Hepburn! It's lovely.

[ReallyGoodDrawer]

I think of the teenage witch but it was my favourite programme ever (apart from maybe Clarissa) so it wouldn't put me off because she was super cool! It won't affect your dd within her age group anyway.

[OneMoreThenNoMore]

It's lovely! I do think of the teenage witch when I first hear it, but that's not a negative connotation.

I'd guess that only females who were teenagers in the mid 90s that would associate the name with the TV programme- most people would just think it's a lovely name.

[SabrinaMulhollandJjones]

I'm not a teenage witch. Sabrina is the most desirable woman in the western hemisphere - model, novelist, international jet-setter...

[GoldenDaffodil]

What could Sabrina be shortened to?

[NadiaWadia]

Bree?

[juneybean]

I was a huge STTW fan so it does make me think of the show, but it's a lovely name!

[LePetitPont]

How about Sabina - no r? I loved the teenage witch!

[Mireio]

It could be shortened to Sabi / Sabby, Sabri, Brina, Bree, Rina

[Cuxibamba]

I love it and wouldn't think of the teenage witch in particular, although I loved it. Her generation won't think of it- the name is beautiful and underused imo.

[SlinkyB]

I have a friend called this - she's affectionately known as Beanie. Love her name.

[thegreatgatsby101]

Gorgeous name. And underused.
