Serenity

[Tranquilitybaby]

Yes or no?

I guess would be mostly shortened to Seren by others

It's pretty, but I'm a bit wary of 'attribute' names. Once met a v solemn girl called joy, and my dd is so fiery that something like serenity wouldn't have suited at all
Seren is nice, also serena? Trinity?

a) The idea of a toddler named Serenity is making me laugh.
b) What happens if your DD is dithering in the playground? "Serenity! NOW!"?

I think it is very pretty.

Loving Serenity Now.
It is a beautiful name, but I am also wary of attribute names after meeting a rather chunky Willow and hearing a mum tear strips off an Angel for hitting

sounds like a space program or film

Why do people come up with bonkers names like these? Suppose each to their own!!!

Seren is lovely - serenity is lovely if your opening a spa. Sorry

"Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand..."

"I don't care, I'm still free, you can't take the sky from me."

Noooooo!!!!!

I like it, pretty name

Nice word/name but she'd be bound to be a bolshie fucker very spirited child. Seren or Serena are lovely and presumably mean something similar but are less in your face "live up to this virtue" names.

Are all Graces graceful?

No. but Grace has transcended its virtue meaning (ie nobody really thinks about what it means) because it's so popular.

The same will happen to Serenity if more people (e.g. the op) use it. Same with names like Constance, Liberty, Verity - all virtue names that are fairly popular as names.

Also, I'd rather have a name meaning 'calmness' than say 'crippled' or 'blind' for example.

I love it. Also I don't think that having a toddler called Serenity is a bad thing either. You can't always live up to the meaning of your name. DS2 is Dylan and is certainly not a God of the sea.
