Thoughts on Sabrina?

We recently found out we're expecting a baby girl 😊 However, there aren't many names we really love. I see the top 100 list and nothing really stands out to me.

We are both keen on the name Sabrina though but a bit concerned with the teenage witch connotations. Would this put you off?

Other names we think are ok for context are
Hope
Athena
Felicity
Isobel
Serena (I like but DH doesn't)

So any suggestions are welcome?
I know lots of Ava's, Freya, Thea, Clara, Mia so keen to avoid similar names.

Thanks

I think of Sabrina the teenage witch, but I think that's an awesome connotation! She was a badass and a great role model for young girls.

I immediately think teenage witch but, besides that, I'm.just not really a fan.

I prefer Sabine, Serena, Selena/Selina, Seren

I have a Sabrina, nn Sab or Sabby. The connections don't bother me, whether it be Fairchild, Munroe or Spellman, they are all pleasent associations.

Also with Serena, I'd be much more concerned with the sailor moon connection. That one is more long lasting than the teenage witch.

Makes me think of Audrey Hepburn in "Sabrina Fair". Lovely girl's name

I really like Sabrina, the teenage witch thing wouldn't bother me and I watcged it all the time as a teenager.

A few others you might like.

Samara
Rubina
Esther
Talitha
Xanthe

I don't really like it and don't think it has the same vibe as the rest of your list. I did immediately think of the teenage witch.

ZaraCarmichaelshighheels · 23/07/2020 20:57

I like it, I always associate it with Charlie’s Angels.

CharlieBoo · 23/07/2020 21:55

I think the teenage witch too

Natt99 · 23/07/2020 22:38

@17caterpillars1mouse love Xanthe and Talitha 💕 unfortunately DH not keen

Sabrina Celeste is lovely!

Cotswoldmama · 28/07/2020 21:19

Love the name and although the Sabrina the teenage witch we remember is a bit naff the new series is quite cool!

RobynNora · 28/07/2020 21:30

Absolutely love it. Great choice! If we were having a girl, I'd want a Sabrina.

I actually think the witch association is quite cool. She's a strong female role model!

LarkDescending · 29/07/2020 11:51

Great list.

I like Sabrina and have a very vivacious friend with this name, so I associate it with her.

Love Athena!

Suggestion: Saskia?
