I very much prefer Seraphina over Serafina. Serafine is a very cute nickname for Serafina though.

I like this spelling more than Seraphina, it seems lighter and less extravagant.

Very beautiful with a nice meaning and many nickname options. Unfortunately, the only Serafina I know is vain and stuck-up, so that kind of ruins the name for me now.

I like this name. But I just can't figure out if I like the spelling Serafina or Seraphina more, they are both classic, beautiful smart strong and goddess vibe. But Seraphina reminds me of a serpent while Serafina gives me Spanish,Italian and fiery vibes. They’re a bit long and would probably have to go but Sera is which sucks because Sara/Sarah is a horrid name. But maybe use it on something else :) it’s a great name though. Maybe if you are naming a princess use this name, but it’s just a bit too long.

I've never met a Serafina in real life, but I know that the name is more common in book characters. It sounds like the name of a goddess.

I think Serafina is an absolutely beautiful name! It's natural, strong, unique, and fierce. It also has lots of good nicknames like: Sera, Ser, Sara, and Fina.

“Serafina” is way prettier than “Seraphina” or “Sarafina.” Sera is a way prettier and rarer nickname than Sara, which is way too common. Also I like how Sera is Italian for evening. Overall, beautiful name!

I think this is a very pretty name. I like what the last person who commented did by spelling their daughter's name Sarafina. She can also go by Sara, which is also very pretty. This is a beautiful, classy name.

We named our daughter Sarafina, preferring this spelling so she can shorten it to Sara, instead of Sera, which made me think of "Que Sera, Sera." This website says Sarafina is Swahili for "bright star," which is also nice, though entymologically unrelated to Seraphina, but we prefer the related meaning to the Seraphim. There were two movies using this name: "Seraphine" a French film, and "Sarafina" the South African movie with Whooopi Goldberg. Both characters were brave, strong and beautiful.

Serafina is a nice and rare name so you won't meet a lot of Serafinas so that's a good thing, but I've never really been too fond of this name.

I love this name, but would rather spell it Sarafina (I don't know if this is a separate name entirely, because I had to add it to this site).

Such a delicate, unique name. It rolls off the tongue so nicely. However, I also like how you can nickname her "Sera" (which means "evening" in Italian) or Fina.
