Had a coworker named Seraphina and every time someone said her name it was like listening to music. Something about those syllables just flows so perfectly together Also met someone named Caspian once at a gaming convention and thought that was pretty incredible too

I teach an elementary age student named Seraphina. She's an absolute nightmare and has ruined anything beautiful about that name for me.

SO MUCH of how we feel about a name revolves around a person we know with that name, in my opinion. I’ve always utterly hated the name Angus, because I was bullied in kindergarten by a kid named Angus. That was 43 years ago.

Caspian is absolutely the kind of name to hear at a gaming convention

That honestly tracks though. Caspian does have big “fantasy novel protagonist” energy

My grandfather's name was the masculine version, Serafin. Spent his whole life going by a nickname, but I've always thought his given name was the coolest.

I was thinking of that name for my youngest. But my husband was dead set on the middle name being Carolina and I didn’t really want to be the mom to like a children’s book character…

A lot of Chinese names are very beautiful and almost impossible to translate. For example I know someone named 曉筠. The first word means daybreak, light in the morning, brightness, and also knowing, understanding. The second means the skin of bamboo (implying resilience), or more generally, bamboo (implying grace, strength). This is lost when she uses her English name, Shelly.

I fell in love with a girl named Marina one summer. I remember her last name becasue it was also beautiful. She was eqyptian and greek, and her name was greek. I should have told her how much she meant to me, but that was 50 years ago....

I always thought Marina Sirtis from Star Trek TNG had an awesome name. If you had told that Marina what she meant to you, she could now be a bitter memory. So there’s that.

Both beautiful names, but I think too many people can’t pronounce Saoirse correctly. I’ve seen too many videos of Saoirse Ronan trying to teach people how to say it. After that I wasn’t even sure I was saying it right.

For those who don't know, Saoirse = sir-shuh, and Siobhan = Shuh-vawn
25
FoxyBastard Mar 28, 2026 +17
> Saoirse = sir-shuh I'm from Ireland and Saoirse Ronan's the only person I've ever heard pronounce it that way. It may be regional but, everywhere I've been, it's pronounced "Sear-shuh" (as in, to sear meat).
17
RealCommercial9788 Mar 28, 2026 +16
As a Siobhan, there is ‘Sha-Vawn’, which I admittedly loathe when it is said with our Australian accent (really long and dragged out, bogan sounding, and all too much like the male name Vaughn) - and then there is ‘Sha-Von’, which is how my Irish mother & fam pronounce it and I prefer. Short and sharp, like Chiffon. Folks often mishear and call me ‘Sh-Bon’. Once worked with a chef who called me that for years, genuinely thought that was my name. Employers will have my name right there in front of them, and still misspell it in emails. Eventually you give up on gently correcting people and accept the chaos.

Pretty normal for online friends, gets to a point where it’s almost weird to ask but randomly came up in conversation somehow and she revealed her name was Eleri(rhymes with fairy) it’s a Welsh name apparently. I was actually speechless at how beautiful that name is.
