Bit meh, I think.

Bobbit was my first thought too. The woman who cut off her ex's appendage.

My first thought was it sounds similar to the Mirena which is a coil.

Sorry.

Serena however is lovely.

Sorry don't like it. I agree it sounds like a washing powder or something.

girlandboy · 09/01/2009 21:53

Thought it was spelt "Laurena". I was at school with one!

Nancy66 · 09/01/2009 22:15

Don't like it - Loretta is ok
