Smile Middle Name for Sabrina--and spelling suggestions?!

OK. I'm asking for some more of that fantastic name advice from the Forum. One of the names DH and I are considering for our sweet baby girl is Sabrina. We both love this name. It's one of the only names that we both seem to agree on. It makes me think of the movie classic starting Audrey Hepburn.

Any suggestions on a middle name(s) that would flow nicely with Sabrina? Also the spelling -- Sabrina, Zabrina, Sabrena or Zabrena?

Any and all suggestions are appreciated!

Happy Mother's Day!

Just wanted to say that I'm a fan of the name Sabrina! My name is the usual spelling (Sabrina), but I also like Sabrena, and people often spell it that way too.

I love Sabrina...

I prefer the traditional spelling.

Now as for middle names? With a 3 syllable first name, I would go with a one syllable middle (but I like some 2 syllables with it, too).

one-syllable:
Rose
Jayne
Jade
Grace
Hope
Leigh / Lee
May

two-syllable
Renee
Pilar
Lourdes
Michelle

I am sure you will get some more great suggestions here! Please let us know what you decide!

Does she have any names her birthmom gave her? You might consider using one of those for her middle name?

I love Sabrina! How about :
Sabrina Nicole?
Sabrina Pilar?
Sabrina Elizabeth?

Best of luck!

I like the traditional spelling, will save her much trouble with people not spelling it correctly in the future (plus you can find stuff with her name on it).

My daughter has a similar sound- Silvia and her middle name is Angelica..

Sabrina Angelica

Works for us because we have a very simple last name like Smith.

I also like Sabrina Renee, Sabrina Isabel and Sabrina Marie

I think Sabrina is a beautiful name....

Regards,
Brandy

Sabrina..

I like the spelling Sabrina. Also it's a beautiful name.

As for middle names I like the idea of keeping what her ** gave her. I also like

Sabrina Rose (as suggested by another poster)

Sabrina Marie

Sabrina Hope

Sabrina LeeAnn

It depends a lot on your last name too .

Happy Mothers Day!

I love the name Sabrina - that is what we are talking about naming our little girl (if we ever finish the paperchase). I agree with whoever said one or two syllable middle name. Lots of good suggestions already. Someone said Sabrina Hope or Sabrina Grace...I like both of those.

I second the vote for Sabrina Elizabeth - it was the first thing that came to mind and sounds very elegant. I guess it all depends on her last name fitting also (and remember to check initials, it would be horrible if your last name were Xavier etc

Happy Mothers Day!

i like the name you choose.

i guess the spelling depends on what you like and want.

do you want a more trendy, and original spelling,
or a more traditional one?

as for her middle name,
could any of her birth names and/or her birthmother's name work?

my little girl has 4 total names,
so we could give her a name, add a name for us (both our middlenames combined make her middle name) and we included her birth middle name.

i wish i had thought to use 3 names for my older kids!
i mean,
there are so many COOL names and spellings that
a person could never have enought kids to use them all,
you know?

have fun choosing names.
it was one of my favorite parts of
waiting for each of my kids...the naming!
