Help me find a better mn for Serafina

in Baby Names

Right now, H and I are going with Serafina Marie because it is my mn, as well as my mom's and my cousin's... plus it flows well. But I am not entirely sold on using a "filler" mn. I'd like it to be something that has meaning though and not just a random choice. Some names in our family are:

Kathryn (paternal grandmother), Karen (twin sis), Irene (maternal grandmother), Diedre (mom), Jennie (hubby's grandmother), Sylvester (late maternal granfather and awesome guy), Anthony (my late father and paternal grandfather).

Any ideas spawn from those names that might sound good? I find out next Friday what this bean is, and while I have thought all along that it is a boy, H and several others think girl, so who knows?

TIA!

    I think Serafina Irene or Serafina Katheryn sound beautiful (though the second is quite a mouthful... how long is your last name?)

    That being said "Marie" may feel like a filler name but it DOES have meaning if it is a family name.

    Our last name is British and sounds kinda like Sandwich (though it doesn't start with an S).

    Marie isn't a "filler" MN if it has family significance. Personally, I think the less fussy the better with a FN like Serafina. Everything else gets a little long.

    Yes

    I think you might be right. It sounds good. We both like it. It has family significance. Anything else and I feel like I'm trying too hard.

    Thanks for making me feel more at peace with it ladies!  :)

    I really like Irene. Marie is just so damn boring.
