I like it but think of spelling with a 'ph'.

HollyBen · 20/03/2021 22:32

I also like it and would spell it with a ph

Aracanum · 20/03/2021 22:33

I have a friend with that name but spelt Seraphina which I prefer. Just seems softer and less harsh.

HeelsHandbagPerfumeCoffee · 20/03/2021 22:34

Yup I like it,a lot. Roots linguistically & culturally in romantic languages

Weedsnseeds1 · 20/03/2021 22:35

Pekkala? Why not. Nice name.

HeelsHandbagPerfumeCoffee · 20/03/2021 22:36

Serafina is the correct spelling, eg Serafina di Dio who set up carmelite monasteries

LouiseTrees · 20/03/2021 22:36

Isn’t that the name of one of Ben Affleck’s kids

scrivette · 20/03/2021 22:36

Beautiful name although I prefer it with ph.
If I had another DD I would like to use it.

DramaAlpaca · 20/03/2021 22:55

I adore it, but spelled Seraphina.

anappleadaykeeps · 20/03/2021 23:00

Isn't that the head witch in Dark Materials?

HeelsHandbagPerfumeCoffee · 20/03/2021 23:01

Yes!

indianelephant · 20/03/2021 23:40

Definitely Seraphina IMO (my daughters name ❤️)

Saltyslug · 20/03/2021 23:44

With a ph

AlexaShutUp · 20/03/2021 23:45

Pekkala for me too, but it isn't a bad association!

AlexaShutUp · 20/03/2021 23:47

I actually think it's nicer with an f. Don't like it with ph at all!

bellie710 · 20/03/2021 23:47

My friend has a Serafina, she is called Finn by friends and family.

bellie710 · 20/03/2021 23:48

Sorry should have said I love the name, she is also sometimes called Fina.

FamilyOfAliens · 20/03/2021 23:49

One of my favourite songs

ilikeboots · 20/03/2021 23:49

Serafina! Yes, love it! my favorite person un the world.

Kitkat151 · 20/03/2021 23:49

Needs to be with a ph..... don’t personally like it......but don’t hate it

LifesNotEnidBlyton · 20/03/2021 23:51

I dont like it. I think that it would be shortened too because it's a bit of a mouthful for children and teenagers and I cant really imagine her school friends calling her Serafina all the time and the shortened name (might be Seri or Phina or something) would likely stick and she'd adopt that so if you don't like that then I wouldn't.

HerRoyalNotness · 20/03/2021 23:54

Love it, with the f

RaininSummer · 20/03/2021 23:56

Love it especially with the nickname of Finn.

LeonoraFlorence · 20/03/2021 23:58

I think it’s beautiful. DHs friend named their DD2 Seraphina 12 years ago. They live in the US so not sure if it’s more popular over there. I think I’ve only ever met another one.

FamilyOfAliens · 21/03/2021 00:01

@RaininSummer

Love it especially with the nickname of Finn.
Seriously? You’d give a child with the fabulous name Serafina a nickname which is one of the most common boys’ names of the moment?
