I quite like it :)

Lovely.

Yay

Was sadly vetoed fir dd1 :(

I quite like it - I know a Cyrena (pronounced si-ren-ah) which I like too.

Beautiful name. Know one and she is brill!

Yes, beautiful, barely used but most people will know how to say / spell it.

Yes I like it too. I have been mulling over which I prefer, Serena or Selina?

I really like it - but worry it would be tempting fate and I'd get a very non serene baby!

I know three Serenas and they are all in different parts of the world but all jaw droppingly beautiful

I know where you're coming from minipie ! But at least a sleeping baby always looks serene! And it's not quite as "fate tempting" as Chastity or Patience! Those Puritans really went out on a limb!!

Great name - haven't heard it for a long time but its lovely

Yay!

Yay. I know one in her fifties.

DD has Sirena as her middle name, which is Spanish for mermaid. Did consider it as a first name but knew it would be endlessly mis-spelt!

It's lovely.

I always think of the hare in "A Little White Horse" which was one of my absolute favourite books as a girl.

kantha I like Selina as it has the potential nn of Lina which I like but prefer the sound of Serena. However our surname is water related (think pond) so dh thinks it wouldn't work as it'd be like description rather than a name.

I can see the dilemma you've got there Spottymog. I'm lucky, the only downside of our surname that it is shared with a famous women's prison.
