we were thinking of calling her 'seren' or 'sere as a shortening of the name though.

  1. IMO, it's too long.


  2. Please don't do this to your/a child. It is a name she will have to bear. You may think it's cute, but stop and consider the reprecusions she will have to bear down road.

  3. NO and neither is serenity,it is a type of maxi pad ,may as well name her tampon or kotex!!!

    serena or sabrina or selena are all good choices,keep it real and good luck!

  4. too long and too out there...serenity or serena ??

  5. h**l no!

  6. I really don't think so. I like capt. ash's idea Serenity.

  7. It's pretty but think of all the people that wouldn't be able to say it and in Kindergarten kids have to know their name and if she can not pronounce it than that would be bad.  

  8. no - do you know how many people won't be able to pronounce it correctly?

  9. NO!  It sounds "dippy".  Awful.

  10. No, thats like child torture.  Name her Serenity, or Serena.

  11. Yes, but Seren on it's own is nice!

  12. im sorry but NO!!! why have your child go through the humiliation of being teased at school. and have her later ask "mom, why did you get a respectable name and i didn't??" think about the future. when she's talking to her grandkids and they ask her real name and she says serendipity. bad choice. sorry.

  13. I think it's a really pretty word.  I guess it depends on how long her last name is because 5 syllables is a fairly long name.

    What about Serenity?

    I suppose you could always call her Sere, Serendi,  or something...

  14. NO.  How about Serena?

  15. How about a normal name. What is that kid going to think when she has to grow up and get a job? Why does everyone want to name their baby a word?  

  16. No,it reminds me of the place in NY that does frozen hot chocolate.

    Seren is a Welsh name meaning Star.Pronounced SER-en or SEH-ren

  17. It's out there.. if I were going to use it, I'd use it as a middle name, definitely.  And you could, if you liked, call her Sera (or Sara/Sarah) for short.

  18. No, it will be misspelled and mispronounced.  Too many syllables.  Pick something shorter.

  19. Please, no.

  20. no.  they will call her seren.  that just makes me think of seron gas.

  21. It's a beautiful word and also the name of a great movie, but I'm not so sure about using it as a name.

    Another nickname could be Eren, as in Erin.

    Maybe I like it better as a middle name?  

  22. I don't think so. It is pretty long for a kid to have to learn how to spell that name. She might not pass kindergarten because she can't write her name!

  23. How about Sachi? It's Japanese for blessed/lucky. Kinda cool. I also like Sage or Saige, meaning wise. Or maybe Santina-little saint (Spanish) or spelled with a "Z".Sulwen is also quite cool, it's Welsh for bright as the Sun. ( I have a really mint baby names book!)

  24. nooooo its an ice cream store in ny. people would say. hey when r u gonna make me some ice cream

  25. It is a lovely name with a lovely meaning and story behind the word.

    But have you ever considered it in:

    French: Sérendipicité or Sérendipité

    Italian: Serendipità

    If the name you're giving to your child has it's meaning and/or a reason for it, then use it and make it your child's name. Just remember, one day when your child grows up and ask you why you've given her a name like that  make sure you won't feel awkward to say why. It's going to be your childs name and she's going to have to live with it and not you.

  26. hAVE YOU LOOKED UP THE MEANING OF THE WORD ? if not you should in the 70s i worked at a restaurant by the name and there specielty was bean sprouts, cucumber sandwhiches and home made peanut butter and honey

  27. I pity the poor thing.  

  28. No. How about Serenity.

  29. Its a pretty word, but not a pretty name. How about Serenity, or Sarina?

  30. Uh, no it isn't.

  31. No, it'a a good name for a movie
