[Opinions] Re: Seraphina
Good question! Here's me throwing ideas at a wall:Seraphina Bernadette - I like this. Bernadette, like Seraphina, feels religious, but unlike Seraphina, it's very warm, and far from glamorous. They play off of each other nicely.Seraphina Catherine - tempting (great nun name!), but no. Catherine is too cold.Seraphina Coral - a mermaid in a Disney movie.Seraphina Cosette - this feels very Nameberry. If you get it you get itSeraphina Esther - I like the sound, and Seraphina feels like a very starry name to me, which ties in nicely with Esther's meaning. But Esther, while not as cold as Catherine, is still not warm enough.Seraphina Fern - quaintly Victorian, but too many Fs.Seraphina Guinevere - melodramatic and gelid.Seraphina Heather - Heather is unexpected. I genuinely find it pleasant, but it makes me think of the moors, which makes me think of shivering Gothic heroines, which is not the vibe I want with Seraphina.Seraphina Hero - sparky and bright orange 🍊. This definitely makes Seraphina seem more fiery.Seraphina Hildegard - nun.Seraphina Hyacinth - too lacy.Seraphina Léontine - theatrical and fiery and operatic. I like this one very much.Seraphina Merope - ever so slightly mournful.Seraphina Nephele - gauzy and dreamlike.Seraphina Rachel - staid, straight-laced Rachel brings flighty Seraphina back to earth.Seraphina Rosalind - a delightful shepherdess frolicking with her fleecy flock.Seraphina Thisbe - hmm not quite. It's cold.Seraphina Valerie - not warm enough either. They seem like two ballet dancers with different temperaments.Seraphina Verity - British aristocrat in a historically inaccurate romance novel.Hmm I think I'm most fond of Bernadette, Hero, and Léontine as middles.

I am unexpectedly intrigued by Seraphina Hero. Interesting idea for sure. I like several of your ideas overall. Léontine and Nephele really jump out at me.
