I like
Seraphine and although said aloud
Seraphina is probably far too much, I have a huge soft spot for
Serafina written down. It's sparky. I like. Anyway, I do really like
Seraphine, and although I prefer it as a middle name it's also lovely as a first name and has a couple of nickname options, like
Sera and Seph.
I don't agree that you'd feel like a "jackass" shouting "
Seraphine!" in the supermarket, I really don't... but then I do have a very frilly name myself. Also, I'm more the type to glower and hiss rather than bellow, as is just about everyone I've ever been told off by, so I think shouting anyone's name in a public place would be painfully awkward... but once again, that's my personal experience speaking. For me, shouting "
Seraphine!" is no worse than shouting "
Anna!"... both are awkward... and in a non-shouting environment,
Seraphine is certainly one of the prettier names going, I think.
