Thoughts on Sabine for a girl? DH likes it and has mentioned it more than once, but it's a bit of an odd name to me really. I've never known one ever. It's also slightly awkward to say. I can't really imagine myself introducing my daughter as this name, shouting it when it's time to eat, etc.

I love Sabine and Sabine Wren is one of the best female Star Wars characters!

That's probably where DH has got it from!

I think Serena is a good substitute OP?

I pronounce Sabine in Rape of the Sabine as say-bine

I generally pronounce the given name Sabine as Suh-beena

Not keen, sorry.
As a PP said, how about something similar like Sabrina, Selina, Serena, Shaleen?
Or Nadine?

I knew one Sabine and she was German, really harsh personality so I only ever associate the name with her now! Could he be swayed by Serene? Sienna or Simone?

I’m not keen. I can imagine years of being nicknamed “bean” at school.

To me, it's a French name and I sort of say it in French in my head! Is it that for you? How about something like Sabrina or Serena?
