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

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

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.

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

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 thought of the Audrey Hepburn film too LegoCaltrops.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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