Don't have Kay as a first name with this as a middle name :-)

[ex-ollivande895.livejournal.com]

Haha, seriously.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

don't like it
but I do like Seraphina

[ex-ollivande895.livejournal.com]

I love your icon :D

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

thanks :)

Reminds me of The Land Before Time.

[ex-ollivande895.livejournal.com]

The adventure that started it all!

:P

[zorianna.livejournal.com]

The only good one!

[ex-ollivande895.livejournal.com]

For real.

I don't really like it, especially as my sister's name is Sarah.

[in_excelsis_dea.livejournal.com]

I like it. I think it's a nice spelling and makes the name a bit more original.

[ex-ollivande895.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that would be the only reason I would like it. It's not an awful spelling, and there are SO many Sarahs. It makes it seem more old-fashioned, too. Well, it is biblical, so I guess that's about as old-fashioned as you can get.

[in_excelsis_dea.livejournal.com]

...Well, technically the bible was written after 500 B.C., so while Sarah is certainly an ancient name, there are older ones. For instance, names from Egypt. Then again, Sarah definitely deserves credit for being so popular over the centuries, since you don't really see many kids running around named Tutat-howeveryouspellit.

But yeah, Sarah is so popular that it's nice to see another spelling, although the kid is going to have to put up with constantly having her name misspelled...

[ex-ollivande895.livejournal.com]

...Yes.

:P

Heh, sorry. I'm a Chem major, but I really considered going into Religion- I'm a bit of a Religion/Bible Origins Geek... *grins*

[eleanorgrace.livejournal.com]

I think it's so common that it'll just be obnoxious to re-spell it for everyone. I think the spelling looks fine, but I think it'll be more hassle than it's worth.

[trtlstars.livejournal.com]

To me that would be Sir-ah...
I like Sarah the way it is. Just a personal opinion. :)

[ayamemishi.livejournal.com]

My first thought?

"Sear*-ah"

*(as in the cooking technique)

I think it looks pretty, but with "Sarah"'s popularity you may as well prepare your kid for a lifetime of having their name misspelled.

[mountain-nest.livejournal.com]

Hm. I actually like that.

[onelove.livejournal.com]

how about Cera

[crzydimond.livejournal.com]

Personally no - i like Sarah though.
And i wouldn't prounounce Serah as Sarah...i'd be leaning towrds prounouncing it Se-RAH rather than the SARE sound.

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

no way.

[krosp.livejournal.com]

I don't think it looks as pretty as Sarah.

Although I think Sera makes sense if it's short for Seraphina... kind of like how Meri (rather than Mary) could be short for Meredith

[asscollection.livejournal.com]

I think it's dumb, but I'm biased since my name is Sarah (although I don't particularly like my name).

[aquilinum.livejournal.com]

Unnecessary and a touch annoying to have to respell for people constantly, I'd think.

Regionally speaking, "Sarah" isn't always pronounced like "SERR-a" anyway. I certainly say the first A more like an actual A. Like how people in the northeast say "Kerry" differently from "Carrie", y'know?

[ex-ollivande895.livejournal.com]

I know what you're saying with Sarah, but I'm lost on the Kerry/Carrie thing. I pronounce them the same way.
