MN for Serafina

kelnyc

We are struggling to find something short but not boring to use as a mn for Serafina. My mn is Marie (as is my mom's and very close cousin's), but I'd rather do something more interesting. H likes Emery, but it is too many syllables and just doesn't flow well IMO. Our last name starts with CH, is British-sounding, and kinda sounds like Sandwich.  

Ideas?

I would go with something simple. I actually like Sarafina Marie.

Hmm how about Ann, Rose?

I wanted to use Ann because it's my Twins sister's mn, but she laughed hysterically at the SAC initials. Lol!

Serafina Lynae! Lynae is pronounced Lynn-ay.

Good suggestions! I love Claire, but he vetoed it today. Booo. Ivy was on our short list for first names, but we took it off once we had to do IVF. That would just be weird, right? And now the whole Blue Ivy thing... I just don't want people to think that's the association.

Serafina Wren

Love this name btw!! 

Wren is nice! And thank you! We like this spelling because we are of Polish heritage and this is the Polish/Italian spelling.

I hadn't thought of this one!

Well at least we certainly have a list to work from now.

Thanks ladies!

Just a thought, my mom's name is Diedre (she goes by Dee Dee), so I could combine it with sis's mn and do Deanne (sp) or something? Does that sound bad?

Elise?

Serafina Pearl

Serafina Elise

A close friend used Pearl for her daughter and Elyse is SIL's first name. H is not fond of passing names on from his side.

Rose was the first thing to pop into my head.

Other ideas: Renee, Claire, Elise...

I LOVE IT!!! My middle name is Dianeth (pronounced dee-ann-ette) and its also my Mom's and my sister's middle name...so maybe I have a little bias for the "dee-anne" pronunciations
