Or Sabine

Sabine (and therefore also Sabina) makes me think "Rape of the Sabine women", which I would find off-putting. So I prefer Sabrina (who was a nice witch).

What meditrina says.

How about Serena? A recent addition to my list...

Sabina.

Sabrina = lap dancer.

Sabrina. Lovely.

Sabrina

Sabrina. Not keen on Sabina or Sabine. It's just a bit beany for me. Also like Serena as minipie mentions.

I prefer Sabrina or Sabine. Hadn't thought of the rape of the Sabine women until meditrina mentioned it.

Sabine by a mile.

Sabrina was the enormous boobed woman who sang Boys Boys Boys. Awful name.

Sabine, much nicer.

Meteorite · 28/09/2011 19:21

Sabine/Sabina are too beany.

I think they're both really lovely names. 'Sabrina' will still evoke 'teenage witch' to many, but that'll change when they meet yours.
