Comments for the name Seraphina

Variant spellings of SERAPHINA are Serraphina, Sarafina, Serafina, Serrafina, and Saraphina.

Yes, this is a another catchy name. Though I wouldn't name my child this it sounds neat for a movie character.

My name is Sarafina, I was always told it ment princess of angels.

Well, I suppose that "princess of angels" is a somewhat valid translation of this name. The first part sounds like "Sarah", which means princess, and it is derived from Seraphim, which is a kind of angel. So I see how one would arrive at this meaning.

I always thought this would make a jewel of a middle name; as a first name I imagine it would invariably be shortened to Sera.

I love love LOVE this name! It's one of my favourites. It's beautiful and unique. I may use it for my daughter one day.

The name sounds very gentle and feminine, though it reminds me of a fruitcake for some reason.

Sarafina is the name of Nala's mother in "The Lion King."

It's a very old-lady name, in my opinion.

I really like this name. For a character. To give a child this name almost seems pretentious or something.

Something about this name doesn't sit right. I think it's the ph in the middle.

I have never heard this name until now and I like it, though I probably wouldn't give one of my kids this name.

Very pretty name. It fits all stages of life and also has very pretty nicknames.

Oddly enough, my impression of this name is somewhat in opposition to LilaMayaNeve's - I find it fitting on one who's young AND mature for her age. On an old lady - it seems incongruent to me. To each her own, I suppose?

I do not think this name is too pretentious or 'character like' as some have stated. Seraphina is perfect if you want something different but not too far out there. In truth, I do not see why it isn't more popular. Seraphina is no more frilly or ostentatious than Josephine, Alexandra, Gabriella, or Cassandra in my opinion.

On the children's t.v. show Angelina Ballerina the queen of the featured mouse society is named Queen Seraphina.

This name sounds somewhat too poetic and artistic to me, if you get my drift. It's quite cool-sounding, and it is beautiful in a way, but it sounds so dramatic somehow. Plus, I don't like the Biblical background of it.

A famous bearer was the queen of the witches (Seraphina Pekkala) in "The Golden Compass" which is book one of His Dark Materials triology.

This is my name! I just am happy it never got popular. Although I am not very happy that there is a barbie doll named Seraphina. But I like my name.

I LOVE this name. It is so beautiful, and I love the pronunciation, spelling, history, everything about it. I will name my daughter this. It's got cute nicknames like Sera and Phina/Fina. Easy to spell and pronounce. This name is pretty much perfect.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck named their second daughter Seraphina Rose Elizabeth.

A beautiful name, but I couldn't handle people shortening it to "Sera". I hate the name "Sarah" and all of its variants. I hope this doesn't become too popular now that Jennifer Garner has chosen this name for her daughter.

I like this name, but I prefer the spelling Serafina. Unfortunately, it will probably be used more since Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner used it on their daughter, and most of them will probably end up being called Sara/Sera.

I like this name but I know it will be shortened to Sera with I find super boring.

Seraphina is a precious name for a child but not for an adult. I prefer Seraphina more than Saphira but it Saphira is more mature. The problem is that Saphira is associated with the Eragon series.

I, personally, think that Seraphina is a beautiful name for a girl. The only problem I find with it is that there aren't much good nicknames for it. Besides that, I really don't see a problem for naming a child that.

Over the top and a bit pretentious.

So beautiful! I like both this and Saraphina. But the meaning is a bit scary.

You know, one nickname no one has mentioned is Fina, but that might work better if you spelled the name Serafina. The Italian Saint was called Santa (Saint) Fina, as a nickname for Santa (Saint) Serafina. And I also think Sera (Ser-ah) is prettier than Sara as a nickname.

Seraphims are angelic beings in heaven that surround the throne of God that have six wings each: two on their back to fly with, two covering their feet, and two covering their faces.

I think this is a wonderful name for a girl! It's so sweet and soft-sounding, almost giving the impression of floating on a cloud :) But, I do think it's a name that could suit someone with a more rough personality as well. Though I do think it sounds very girly, I think it will grow with a person her whole life. I will probably use this some day.

Gorgeous name. Serafina "Fia" is my favorite because it avoids the dull Sera nickname. I don't find this name any more elaborate than the popular Isabella. It fits many of the current trends right now. I could see it rising in popularity.

This is a beautiful name, though it's slightly "out there" for a first name. It'd make a unique middle name, and I suggest it other than the more common and stale middle names such as Ann, Marie, Rose, Lyn, Grace, and the likes.

I'm glad it's getting more popular; every Seraphina I know is horrible. This name needs a new image!

This name is beautiful. There's really no other way to describe it. However, it's too elaborate and almost too beautiful to ever use as an actual name. It's a perfect name for a fictional character, though.
