Embarrassing favorites

Do you have anything on your list that's totally not your style and almost kind of embarrasses the snob in you? Please divulge.

My biggest problem with that is that it's actually plural! (1 seraph, 100 seraphim)

I've heard of the name Seraphina, though... but yeah, it's pretty out there :)

LOL
Someone posted about Serafina a couple of comments down too.

Yeah. The plural thing bugs me too. It's not really uncommon for me, I do a lot of gaming and stuff, so I see it a lot in fantasy stuff. Also one of my fav comics has a character named Seraphim. But I have to understand not everyone is a pathetic dork, so it will be very not common for them :P

HAHAHAHA. Yeah, but on the flip side, not everyone is enough of a pathetic dork to know that the "-im" ending is plural, so few people would probably notice that particular problem :) (I study Hebrew lit, though, so I'll always pick up on Hebrew names/words that are used "wrong." But in a parallel universe I could possibly see myself using Seraphina as a mn - being named after terrifying fiery creatures from heaven would be kind of cool ;) )

wow, if Seraphina is "out there," then I'm going to be laughed out of this community.

What generally constitutes "out there"? I'm curious.
