Im not sure that I believe this....

[tiredemma]

a cousin of mine says that a 'friend of a friend' (which makes me ) has had a girl and called her serendipity.

not sure what to think- it sounds nice, but for a name?

DHs neices middle namne is Temperance so I think anything is possible!

i once taught a girl called serendipity! She was called Dippy for short - really matched her personality too

I'm sure there was a Serendipity (Ren for short) on Neighbours or Home & Away yonks ago

I bet she ends up being called Sarah. which will drive her zaney original parents mad.

Same as Seraphina. I know of one of those, she'll end up being sera !

Dippy is awful.

I worked with a Serendipity she was called Ren

Oooh - I rather like Serafina. Was toying with it myself (with 'Fi' as a nickname). Serendipity is too many syllables for me (and the 4 in Serafina may rule that out too - I like 3 syllable names best).

I think it would be fab to shout when you are angry with them in tesco or something.'Se-ren-dipityeeeeeeeeeeeeeee'

Ledogy, I think that would be "Seren - f**ing - dipity come heeeeeerrr!!!"

"Ren" from Neighbours

Madamcastoriori, Are her parents into detective novels?

i think it's a lovely name.
and a lovely implication "happy accident" at least you would always know your parents were happy you were coming.

Really Cheesey?

If it really is, then how do you feel when you see people laying into it like this?

I quite like it btw although I would always want to shorten it.

no.i was joking-just to see what posters would say!
i do however really quite like it.i think its pretty and unlike some names you can imagine child and grown up!

i killed the thread-sorry
