I like it!
I don't know any so not sure of its popularity

I don't dislike the name, but that's the first thing I think of Grin

Also I've read different things about the names origin. Is Sabrina Arabic, because I'm not neither is DH.

Lovely name. Underused, in my opinion.

bootlebum · 27/02/2021 19:29

Love it

very positive feedback Smile
I keep finding myself attracted to names that I find out have Persian or Arabic origin. Little jealous of their beautiful names. I think Sabrina has been used enough here that it wouldn't raise any eyebrows?

Sabrina the teenage witch was a show I loved so don't mind that connection. Also like Soraya..

Lovely name. One of my dearest friends is called Sabrina - she is German - has never met another one "over here" she says!

FoggyDay58 · 27/02/2021 19:37

Love it and would've used for my DD if DH had allowed it.

Lovely name, not very common but recognisable. I won't assume Arabian heritage. I also like Sabina.

Aurorie11 · 27/02/2021 19:41

Makes me think of the film with Audrey Hepburn playing Sabrina. Like it

Mol1628 · 27/02/2021 19:42

I know an adult Sabrina (UK) I think it’s a great name. She does get a lot of Sabrina the teenage witch comments!

BarbaraofKent · 27/02/2021 19:43

Teenage Witch. For sure.

Lovely. I also thought of Audrey Hepburn and "Sabrina Fair".

TenShortStories · 27/02/2021 19:46

I like it. Also Serena, which I probably like even more.

ILoveStickers · 27/02/2021 19:59

I like it.

Usually associated with the deity of the River Severn, I thought, so very English. Though perhaps it's an Arabic name too.

YoniAndGuy · 27/02/2021 20:01

Lovely. I know one, in her 20s. Use it!

partyatthepalace · 27/02/2021 20:02

Another one for teenage witch! But I like it and no one will remember the show when she grows up.

It's a latinate name but from the UK, may well be Arabic also.

florascotia2 · 27/02/2021 21:25

OP just a quick Google:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabrina_(given_name)

Ijustlikedthename · 27/02/2021 21:27

Love it!

carolinesbaby · 27/02/2021 21:35

Sabrina is the Latin form of the Welsh Hafren, Goddess of the River Severn.

Gorgeous name. I'd use it.

Calibrachoa · 27/02/2021 21:39

It's not my favourite

EileenGC · 27/02/2021 21:41

I went to school with a Sabrina, she was such a lovely girl. Her twin brother was Gabriel. Gorgeous name.
