Céline or Sabine for a French baby in the US?

I know neither name is especially "fresh" in the francophone world, but for family reasons these are the last 2 names on the list. I like them both equally (especially the nickname Beanie for Sabine) but I wonder whether the latter will be "too French" for an American environment. Thanks!

Just in case you didn’t realise, this is the Arts and Crafts section, so you probably won’t get too many answers to your question here😊 I would suggest you start another thread in Baby Names or Chat.

I think both names are beautiful.

What's with the bloody baby names posts in this section? Is it on page 1 of creating a believable persona, or something?

I mean for crying out loud, if you really are having a baby, pay attention to what you're reading so that you don't end up feeding it PVA glue, or teething on some pinking shears 😂

Hi, OP. We've moved your thread to our Baby Names board now, where hopefully you'll receive some more non-craft responses! Congratulations on your pregnancy.

Personally I prefer Céline but I don’t think Sabine is “too French”

Sabine is lovely. It's the nn Beanie that swayed it for me
