I like this name. It's not overly used, old, or anything like that. One of the cheetah girls has this name, Sabrina Bryant. It also has a great meaning: princess.
Sabrina Salerno - In 1987 she recorded her first album, Sabrina, which soon became her stage name in the 1980s. It spawned the smash hit singles "Boys (Summertime Love)", "Hot Girl", and "All of me (Boy Oh Boy)"
Sabrina is an Assyrian (Near Eastern) name meaning "hope" or "waiting". It is the feminine form of the male name Sabre or Sebre, which is derived from the word for patience, waiting and hope.
From John Milton's Comus: Sabrina fair, Listen where thou art sitting Under the glassy, cool, translucent wave, In twisted braids of lilies knitting The loose train of thy amber-dropping hair; Listen for dear honour's sake, Goddess of the silver lake, Listen and save.
I think Sabrina is a beautiful name, I think "Sabrina The Teenage Witch" won't even be remembered by the time I have children, and the film "Sabrina" is so beautiful and elegant. It's a lovely name.
It's a pretty name, but a bit too girly for my taste, and by ''girly'', I don't mean ''like the name of a little girl'', but rather that it's an ultra-feminine name. I almost see pink when I even think about this name. It sounds like the name of a girl who dresses up like a princess as a child, and grows up to wear frilly, pink skirts and has long, curled, blonde hair. The name also unfortunately reminds me of the dumber-than-a-box-of-rocks Sabrina Salerno, who had an annoying hit in the 80s.
Sabrina is my name and I love it. I would never ever want to change my name. I am very proud to be named after a princess.

My name is Sabrina. I love it and always have. When I went to school I only met one other Sabrina, so I liked the uniqueness of it. However, people do often say, "Oh, Sabrina, like the witch?" They used to refer to the old TV series "Bewitched" that had a Sabrina in it, but now they mostly refer to the current show "Sabrina The Teenage Witch." You might want to think that over before naming your child it. Oh, and for the record I was named after one of the original "Charlies' Angels", not a witch.
This name is simply beautiful, how can anyone not love it?! It's got everything you could want in a name; it's unique without sounding forced, can be considered casual and formal, trendy yet classic and super feminine. I have a sister named Sabrina and everyone calls her Sassy or Nina which are also cute nicknames.

Sabrina was the stage name of Norma Ann Sykes (b. 1936), who became a blonde and buxom British TV star around 1960, but has long since faded from view. The name is seldom used in Britain otherwise.
'Sabrina the Teenage Witch' is one of my favourite programmes! I like the name Sabrina though, but I'll always think of 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch' when I hear it!
This is just an all around good name in my opinion. It's pretty, classy, elegant, with an air of mystery around it that I love. The world could use a few more Sabrinas.
Sabrina Weckerlin (born 8 February 1986) is a German musical theatre actress. Amongst her best-known roles are Magrid Arnaud in "Marie Antoinette", Elphaba in "Wicked", and Elisabeth in "Elisabeth".
I like the name Sabrina. I doubt I would consider using it though. It seems like the only thing people think of when they hear this name is a goofy TV show. It's practically been stigmatized.
Sabrina is a beautiful name, and I wouldn't worry too much about the "Teenage Witch" connection because that'll be a faded memory by the time a baby Sabrina born now gets to school. Sabrina and Serena are among the prettiest names for girls.
