Just want some honest opinions so I can be prepared for later on.

My husband and I have decided to name our daughter Serenity Rose.

What do you think?

Maybe that's what the name brings to mind for you now, but once this little girl is called Serenity, everyone who knows her will associate "serenity" with her and will grow to love the name even if they didn't before.

You can say that about any name though, that doesn't make any name a great one because of it. I bet little MiCkaehlyah Vyper's parents associate "MiCkaehlyah Vyper" with her and others have grown onto the name.

Hmmm yeah, you're right.

I guess I was just thinking that with some names that people think are stripper names (e.g Skye, Trinity, etc) that it's a weak association that can easily be replaced. But on the other hand, I think there are some names that will always sound like stripper names no matter how beautiful the child is (e.g "Dusti Starr"). I suppose I just think that Serenity is one of those names that won't hold a stripper association for very long if at all. I prefer Serena because it sounds more like a name than a word.. but I do think you could do a lot worse than Serenity.
