Sabrina - what do you think?

[MooseMoose]

Pretty and underused? A bit naff and too much associated with the teenage witch? I can't decide!

Lovely. My favourite Angel!

What about Sabine? (Pronounced "Sabeena")
I know someone called this and think it's really cool!

Yes I really like it, don't know why I didn't consider it! I liked Sabrina The Teenage Wtch but am on my 40s, so don't think any kids would associate the name

I think of the teenage witch when I hear the name, but it’s not a particularly negative association. If it bothers you, consider Serena, Sabine, and Sabryn.

I prefer this one.

Sabine was a name they always used in our German language books in secondary school.

'Ich heise Sabine. Wunderbar'.

Thanks. Really not keen on Sabine - I think it sounds quite harsh, whereas Sabrina sounds quite sparkly and happy to my ears. Also like Serena, but DH not keen.

Love Sabrina and also Selina. Have taught children with those names and they were completely lovely.

Serena is too Serena Joy and that woman is mean.

Sabrina is great

More Audrey Hepburn than teenage witch for me. I agree with you OP, a strong, feminine, up-beat name.

Very pretty and underused teenage witch will be adults only so will go soon enough.

I love it, nice name and underused. Parents will know about Sabrina the teenage witch but it's not a bad association. It's on my list of non-Welsh names.

Teenage witch is my immediate thought but that’s not a bad association

I think it’s a nice strong unusual name

Lovely and classical - but because it's uncommon most people will either think Teenage Witch or the Hepburn film (or the remake). This wouldn't stop me personally from using it though - they aren't bad references.

Lovely name. Yes for me it makes me think of the teenage witch, but her peers won't have this problem

Love it!

Lovely. Also love Serena

Woman I know has a granddaughter Sabrina,.I think it's lovely

I was at school with a Sabrina when the Teenage witch was popular, and no one made the association then. (There is a current remake as well, so it's not completely in the past. )

I like Sabrina but I absolutely LOVE Sabine. Should I miraculously find myself pregnant with a daughter that would be her name.

Thanks everyone. I really wasn't expecting such a positive response. I thought it might be a bit too frilly or people would be put off by the witchy vibes...

It doesn't sound frilly to me, it sounds grown up and feminine. Arabella is the style of name that I find too frilly.

Large Portuguese community where I live and it’s commonly used 👍

I don't mind it, bit old fashioned. I know an adult bully named Sabrina so puts me off the name as she's real nasty.
