Hi ladies

Just mentioned that I was considering this name on another thread and was wondered what your opinions were on this name Hmm

Thanks Smile

I like it too. Makes me smile to think of a screaming toddler being called Serena, but that won't last long, and it is a lovely womanly name.

I like it.

Serena is a very pretty name.

Lovely (nicer than Annabel or Felicity).

Thanks for your honest opinions ladies. The two names that we originally short listed were Annabel and Felicity. I really like more older traditional names. However, just came across the meaning of the name Seren - (Welsh for Star) and thought it had a lovely personal association for me and my family. My DH proposed to me in Wales 2 years ago and it was the last holiday we went on whilst I was pregnant- don't want to sound corny though Smile

Is this coincidence or what? I just chose your pronunciation of my grandmother's name Andelescia.

And believe it or not, I have a book coming out with a character named "Salena". Small world, I wish it could be more so, at other times too, but it is not. [sigh]

I like other names better, but I wouldn't blanche at it. It sounds nice, nice associations.

It is my nieces name. I like it. Quite grown up sounding I think. Would never have thought of it myself.

Sorry not for me either.
