Seraphina

[PosieParkerIsAHero]

I love it.

Means Fiery one.

I won't have anymore kids but maybe I could get a cat?

Quite a nice magical sounding name for a black cat. I think it’s awful for child though.
IMO it would only suit you if you were upper middle class and went to an independent school. Anything else you’re just being something you’re not.

Or maybe a ginger cat. Fire is orange and is obviously fiery

Seffie/Seph

I love it. Definitely get a cat. Get two.

I've always liked the name, I think it's pretty. Though looking at the first PP maybe I'm not posh enough .

Yeah, because there are strict socio -economic rules about what people are allowed to name their baby.

NEW MUM: The name we wanted is Araminta Persephone.

REGISTRAR: Ok. Let’s see your bank statements and the pedigree of baby please. Lower than £800,000 and at least one great uncle who holds a title above Baronet, and I’m afraid you can be allocated a Lily-Mae or, if making more than £45,000 per year, you may even be entitled to an Ava Rose.

By the way, Lily-Mae, Ava Rose and Seraphina are all lovely names in my opinion. Open to everyone. Obviously.

I think Sera is a lovely nickname as well. It means evening in Italian.

Excellent name. Serafina (slightly different spelling) is one of the best characters in His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman (currently on the BBC). She's strong, powerful, a great leader of her people, and saves the day several times. A good character to share a name with.

I like it, but it is a little flouncy. I don’t think it has particularly posh vibes at all. It’s too unusual to typecast it.

The thought that you can’t name someone something because of class come off it!

Seraphina is the name of a maternity clothing brand, just reminds me of that.

Seraphine is nice too

Love it.

I heard this name for the first time last week watching His Dark Materials. I quite like it.

But would her daemon be a swan or an eagle?

Gorgeous name.

Was on our short list for dd3 but she didnt look like a Seraphina. I do love it through.

I like it. I think it would be great on a lovely fat little guinea pig.

Seraphina the guinea pig

Too much

I’ve got a Seraphina. We’re not upper class, and she doesn’t go to independent school.

We chose it because of the 13th century italian Blessed Serafina - because we’re both from a catholic background and wanted a name that reflected that. Also it means fiery and ardent and I hoped any daughter of mine would possess those qualities! (She does, in spades)

She gets Fina as a NN, HATES Sera, and while some people comment that it’s unusual/ haven’t heard it before, mostly we get complimented on it. It suits her, I’m glad we chose it.

—totally outed myself now—

Not a fan sadly :/ sounds a bit silly to me
