Thoughts on Sabre??

59 replies

ElisaMay · 22/07/2020 12:18

My DH really likes the name Sabrina but I'm not a fan. Mainly because she's probably going to be blonde (like me, DH and the kids) which sounds a little familiar- Sabrina the teenage witch!😂 we discussed this and he suggested Sabina, which I was unsure of, or Sabre witch (pun intended) I like. Any thoughts??

For a baby or a dog?

PiggyPlumPie · 22/07/2020 12:21

Dog name surely?!

Quite like Sabrina though.

Animal yes, human no.

A Sabre is a weapon. I wouldn't name my DD after a weapon.

PurpleDaisies · 22/07/2020 12:22

Absolutely awful.

bewilderd · 22/07/2020 12:22

tooth tiger?

TitianaTitsling · 22/07/2020 12:23

Are you pronouncing it Say-bear or Saab-ray?
Just checking as have heard both. (🎶This is gonna be a good day, for Dunder Mifflin and Saab-ray🎶)

NC4Now · 22/07/2020 12:26

bewilderd beat me to it

reefedsail · 22/07/2020 12:27

Light or toothed-tiger?

You might get away with Sabriel.

Toilenstripes · 22/07/2020 12:27

I think it’s awful. What about Sabine or Sabina?

Polkadotdelight · 22/07/2020 12:27

Reminds me of a YouTube family called the Norris Nuts who are really loud and annoying - one of the daughters is called Sabre.

elfran · 22/07/2020 12:35

Er, I just think of tigers or Jedis.

What about Sabine? Or its slightly more phonetic spelling, Sabina.

Carandi · 22/07/2020 12:36

Great name. If they have siblings you can call them Amadeus and Galileo (travel GDSs) Grin.

GarlicMcAtackney · 22/07/2020 12:40

You want to name a person Sabre Witch? Would you like to be called that?

sodabreadjam · 22/07/2020 12:40

Yes for a German shepherd or Doberman. Not for a child.

userabcname · 22/07/2020 12:42

@TitianaTitsling The Office was my first thought too!

GarlicMcAtackney · 22/07/2020 12:42

‘Sabina’?! Sabina Vagina-hearing that for your entire lifespan would get tedious pretty quickly 😄

flossletsfloss · 22/07/2020 12:45

Hate it, but who cares what I think.

Tish008 · 22/07/2020 12:50

What about Sabriel?

RedRec · 22/07/2020 12:55

Horses, cars, stupid baby names. You are on a roll today, OP.

BlusteryLake · 22/07/2020 13:04

A bit like naming your child machete, épée or any other kind of sharp sword!

CarolVordermansArse · 22/07/2020 13:07

I prefer Hatchet.

Giggorata · 22/07/2020 13:08

Friends used to have A German Shepherd called Sabre. I think it would be a trying name to inflict on a child.

Anoisagusaris · 22/07/2020 13:08

Wasn’t there a dog in the early Adrian Mole books called Sabre? Grin

rottiemum88 · 22/07/2020 13:14

I also went straight to 'tooth tiger'.

Sabrina is a pretty name. Blonde or not, kids when she's growing up won't have a clue about a TV programme which stopped filming in the early 00s.
