WDYT?
I think of Severus Snape.
I vastly prefer Seraphina/Serafina.
I vastly prefer Seraphina/Serafina.
I find it difficult to get past the "Sever" part. It makes me think of a severed head.
She'd have her own song Severina
I knew a Severyn once but I didn't think it was a particularly nice name so I don't like either of those. When I say Severina is rhymes with Philomena too so I definitely wouldn't use it with a Philomena already.
I personally wouldn't go there, and when I first read it I thought it was a thread about a sugar replacement.
yuck and yuck!
Nope - my brain went straight to Severus Snape as well!
For Severine to work well, I think you need to be in a French speaking country. I have a Belgian friend/colleague called Severine & it sounds LOVELY when our Belgian co-workers say her name.
Araminta, on the other hand, requires no French accent to sound lovely.

I actually really like Severine as a name (not crazy about Severina though - sounds made up), but even so, I agree with this comment:
I also agree that Seraphina/Serafina are probably better options.

I used to know a Severine, went by 'Sev' though. It does feel a bit harsh, and Severina is a little bit too close to Philomena I think.
There is also something about it that doesn't seem to fit in terms of...geographical location. Wrong part of Europe or something.

Too severe for me
Hary Potter. That's all I think of!

This.
I think I've seen it in bad Harry Potter fanfiction.
Reminds me of severe which makes me think it isn't pretty like your other girls' names.
Don't be a silly billy.
Severine - I have a friend Severine and I think it is very pretty
No i don't like it.
Makes me think server.

Neither does Serafina, Valentina or Antigone...

+1 I thought severe too.
I like Seraphine though as an alternative.
Yuck on both counts. A very harsh, hard sounding name.
Don't like it at all.

This says it all for me.
On the subject of Araminta, this is Minty when she grows up.
Hahahahaha CC , I love Posh Nosh, it's fricking epic!
So you admit to reading Harry Potter fanfiction?

Go for Valentina, then you can nn her Tina
I know a Severine. She too goes by Sev and she is Dutch
I am not a fan of either, sorry. But I love Seraphina as others have suggested.
That's not a good one.

Another one who automatically thinks Severus Snape

This I actually quite like. As well as Seraphina.
QUOTE (MnM @ 24/04/2011, 06:42 PM)
I have my own song too 
What's your song MnM?
Its pretty when said in an accent, but I don't know that it would suit the Australian one so well. Another kid who would probably be spending a great deal of time repeating herself and spelling her name!
