Thoughts on Sabre??

My DH really likes the name Sabrina but I'm not a fan. Mainly because she's probably going to be blonde (like me, DH and the kids) which sounds a little familiar- Sabrina the teenage witch!😂 we discussed this and he suggested Sabina, which I was unsure of, or Sabre witch (pun intended) I like. Any thoughts??

It's bloody ridiculous!!!

My childhood dog had this name...certainly not for a child

DrDetriment · 22/07/2020 22:40

Hilariously awful.

@Polkadotdelight

Reminds me of a YouTube family called the Norris Nuts who are really loud and annoying - one of the daughters is called Sabre.
Same here. Sabre is one of the better names in their family. Grin

With a name like that, no wonder you're getting cutting remarks

Sabine (Zabina) is pretty, or you could use Sabina.
Sabre is more of a GSD name.

Sabre is a large, somewhat aggressive, German shepherd dog.

SoupDragon · 22/07/2020 20:02

You are naming a person, not a pet.

Tlollj · 22/07/2020 19:57

What about Sable. That’s a name

Disfordarkchocolate · 22/07/2020 19:56

Sabrina is lovely, at my age I think of Charlie's Angels instead of a teenage witch.

Sabre sounds like something you call a dog, or a boy you expect to become a legendary swordsman.

AuntieStella · 22/07/2020 19:53

Sabre - hmm sabreurs are fast, but a bit dim

celestebellman · 22/07/2020 19:43

Sabre will always be the Alsatian dog in the Adrian Mole books.
Sabrina is quite nice.

PocketBears · 22/07/2020 18:32

Not too bad, but I prefer Fang.

For the Sabrina part, you could also try:

Sabbath
Sabotage (Sabotage Sabre sounds rocking)
Safflower
Sapphire
Sagacity
Samadhi
Satiny
Santolina

daisypond · 22/07/2020 18:04

No.
Call her Sabrina. It’s nice. I can’t see why being blonde had anything to do with it.

GinWithASplashOfTonic · 22/07/2020 18:03

I also immediately think of extinct tigers and Star Wars weapons. It's a no from me

Upsydaisyy · 22/07/2020 17:41

Sabre is the name of an international flight system used by travel agents and airlines. I’d avoid!

LesLavandes · 22/07/2020 16:49

Err. No

@MrsCrosbyNRTB

Are you Bert Baxter?
😂😂 Ah, brings back memories
SpeedofaSloth · 22/07/2020 16:34

Sabrina is fine.
Sabre is a great big snarling dog straining at a leash.

MrsCrosbyNRTB · 22/07/2020 16:34

Are you Bert Baxter?

Ellmau · 22/07/2020 16:32

Sabrina or Sabina, fine. Or Serena?

Sabre, no.

averylongtimeago · 22/07/2020 16:24

Sabrina is the goddess of the River Severn, not just a silly 40 year old tv show.

Sabre is a dogs name, imho

AramintaPepperminta · 22/07/2020 14:06

How many threads does one person need?

Ingridla · 22/07/2020 13:52

For a horse, yes.
