HelpRe: Sabrina
in reply to a message by A
I actually really like it. There's something mystical about it and it has a long history. I also like the slightly witchy associations that it has. I think of good, sweet witches and it is therefore magical, in a really nice way. It has the same feel as Tabitha and Samantha, even though Samantha has lost it a bit due to extreme overuse.
The only problem I have with it is that it was really common here in the 80s and 90s and that it unfortunately has a bit of a tacky/trashy image where I live. It also feels a bit dated in general, not because it was ever really common in the US/UK but because it feels like it fits in more with the style of popular 80s names. Back then names weren't short and simple like they are now but long and frilly. It fits right in with Melissa, Amanda, Samantha, Marissa etc. and I think that's why it is constantly falling and losing popularity.

I met a Sabrina recently who was around 19. She was a college student and was working at a cafe. She seemed friendly and approachable. I haven’t met too many other Sabrina’s for the name to feel dated.
