I've always hated it. It feels so affected and edgy. Worse than Lorelei in that regard, which I think is a name with a very similar vibe, but a prettier sound. Doesn't make me think as much of sabres.

I rather like the name Sabrina; I've always thought that it was beautiful. I don't care for Sabrena at all, but in Arabic, Sabriyya is delightful.

Sabrina is one of my very favorite names. I could easily see myself naming a daughter Sabrina.In an Arabic context, Sabriyya/Sabria is also pretty, as is Sabra. I also like Sabine, and to a lesser extent Sabina (though I keep thinking it's missing an R).

Kind of plain but not bad. Prefer it to other plain names like Vanessa, Veronica, Jessica and Rebecca. I'm tired of those.I don't like Sabriyya but I will say that Sabria is the prettier spelling.

I never warmed to it, which is a shame, I like the witch association. Very dated to the 90s for me; I knew a handful of Sabrinas growing up, and also that "Sabrina" sitcom was a big deal then. It's a mom name now.I vastly prefer Sabra, which does sound magical.Sabrena looks awkward. Sabriyya is fun, I've not seen that one before.

Sabrina is a stunning name! My online best friend is named it so I might be biased, though. ;) But I feel like this name is solid and fresh-sounding, and you can't go wrong with it!Sabrena looks off to me, but it's not bad.Sabriya is such a lovely name as well! I prefer this spelling, though they are all beautiful!

Lovely river! But dated and frilly. Sabrena is unnecessary, Sabriyya is ludicrous and Sabria looks like a new household cleanser, scouring powder perhaps.I have no associations with teenage witches; my parents spoke of a movie in which the heroine was blonde and bosomy and named Sabrina. Not encouraging.

I really like it, and I wouldn't mind using it for a girl. It is uncommon yet familiar in my country. I adore the association with the teenage witch.I don't care for Sabrena, Sabriyya nor Sabria, but I find Sabina quite charming. I also like that it has many usages, and the fact it is also the Spanish word for the savin tree is a plus.

It’s ok but feels dated, a very X-er name. Don’t care for Sabrena.

Sabrina is cute, maybe a bit 90s but it wouldn't bother me. Black cats, witches, purple, orange, Halloween, autumn, forests, rivers. That kind of name.Sabrena looks wrong to me. Sabria just isn't as charming. Sabriyya will cause spelling issues.

It's ok, don't like variations. First thought is teenage witch

I’ve never cared for this name, which sounds bratty to me. The only Sabrinas I’ve known have been spoiled and conceited…

How many Sabrinas have you met? I think I've come across a couple women in their 40s or 50s over the years with the name (I'm 32 now, for reference), and always in professional settings. It's not a name I encounter regularly.

I've known two: one in elementary school and one in college.

You should meet my online best friend! She's the sweetest person ever!

I agree

I don't like anything about it.
"Sab" is just ugly.
