Sabrina, Anne-Marie or Sienna

[Lorelei89]

Hi!

We have a shortlist for our DD2 due soon:

• Sabrina
• Anne-Marie
• Sienna

Which one is your favourite? :)

Very simple one syllable family name, I'm French my DH is English.

Thanks!

How about Sabine?

I've.loved Sabrina since I was a teenager. So it gets my.vote. Next is Anne Marie

My vote was for Anne-Marie but Marianne is much better! It's a beautiful name.

All really lovely names. I'm partial to Sabrina.

Sabrina, what a wonderful name! And I loved the teenage witch, so nothing wrong with that association imo

I prefer Anne-Marie.
I like Sabrina.
Less keen on Sienna but it's just personal taste, there's nothing wrong with it.

Sabrina
But they're all nice x

Prefer Marianne
Quite like Sabrina
Anne-Marie is OK
Really dislike Sienna

Thank you so much everyone, Sabrina and Marianne go on my shortlist. I scrape Sienna since you convinced me not to use it, ditto with Anne Marie. 😚

Sabrina is unusual

Sienna is pretty enough but a bit of a dated trend.

Anne-Marie… sounds very “old school classic French,” I think I’d assume the family was quite religious. The problem with hyphenated names is that they often get confused with something else because people remember it’s a hyphenated name but don’t always remember which one it is. And so you end up being called Mary-Anne, Anne-Louise etc. It is not bad, though.

I love Sabrina; doubt her generation will remember the 90s series and anyway, teenage witch sounds like a fun connotation to me!

Anne-Marie

Sabrina - none of her peers will know about teenage witch. It has a nice, on trend “a” ending but the plosive B makes it feel fresher than the vowel heavy liquid consonant names :)

Anne-Marie is old fashioned and boring. Sienna is nice but very common
Sabrina is a very common Muslim name

There must be nicer French girls names out there?

Sabrina 🐈‍⬛

I would not want a hyphen in my first name. So, it would be Annemarie.

I love Sabrina, its different and pretty!

But then you'd be 'Annemarie all-one-word' instead of 'Anne-hyphen-Marie'
Marianne works better.

I know someone with an Annemarie type name and it sort of looks weird. Not the actual name but something like Emmamarie

Sienna

They rebooted 'Sabrina the teenage witch' as 'The chilling adventures of Sabrina' in 2019 or so and it was really popular among teens etc. even though most of us remember the 90s version. I have to say given how 'trampy' the main character is I personally would steer clear of that name.

I do really like Sabine though.

Thank You for the update, OP!

I'd call a dd Marianne I gave birth tomorrow. Lovely name.

I know somebody called Ann-Marie, whenever we introduced ourselves people would think she was saying 'and Marie'.
Sabrina is ok but very teenage witch.
