[Opinions] Cyrine
https://www.behindthename.com/name/cyrine/submittedEncountered Cyrine again today. I mentioned it not long ago in a post with a list of interesting name encounters but I actually spoke with her today and heard it out loud - she says it like "serene", to my ear at least. She's American with a general American accent. I'm kind of into it, though I'm not a big fan of the male name it comes from (Cyrus).WDYT?

Cyrus is one of my favorite names, personally. I’m the opposite: I’m not a fan of the name Cyrine. I would prefer Cyrus or maybe even Cyan. Serena would be another option. I can appreciate how unique Cyrine is, though.

I know a little girl of Arabic background named this, her family pronounce it something like sih-REEN.

Not particularly attractive. Reminds me of sirens and citrus.

I like both, and since it comes from Cyrus, I pronounce Cyrine as Sigh-reen
