I'd like to hear why you don't like Serena

I think it's really pretty and would probably work pretty well for an adult, but I know a lot of people really strongly dislike it. Just wanted to get your thoughts. For us it would be Serena Claire M.

    I don't dislike Serena.  I always think of it a name that had a flare of popularity in the 80's and then died out again...JMO

    I prefer more classic names with longevity. 

    I like how Serena Claire sounds.

    If you love it, use it!

    This from me too.  I like it quite a bit.  It's a real name that sounds pretty (especially with your middle name choice), and it's not overly popular.

    For me, it's just a "meh" name. It's the name of my dad's first cousin, so for me, it's old enough to not sound fresh, but not old enough to sound new again. I hope that makes sense.

    I think Serena Claire sounds good together. And, my dad's cousin is an adult, and I have only ever known her as an adult, so I think it works great for an adult!

    I think it's pretty. I have a 40-ish coworker with the same name and it works well for her in a professional setting.

    It's NMS, but I don't hate it. It goes along with Sabrina, Salena, etc. which I've just never liked.

    I don't see anything wrong with it. I do think of Blake Lively's character on Gossip Girl when I hear it though.

    Don't mind it! I have a big thing for just Serene as a name. No A. But definitely think SerenA is pretty too.

    It's just not an attractive name to me. And it reminds me of Seinfeld - "Serenity now! Serenity now!" Funny stuff....
