Do you think Sabrina will get nick named?

[Anonymous]

I have a friend named Sabrina who goes by Bree and have known her my whole life. I don't think her mom encouraged this nickname, but she likes it.

+1.

I love the name Sabrina. That show ended in 2003. I don't think it's relevant to people under 30.

Um, no. I'm 22 and have definitely heard about the show. Think about the people who had older siblings watching the show.

Babies born now are unlikely to have siblings who watched the show.

+1 none of her peers would make this association at all any by time she'd be applying for jobs the show would be like 30 years old.

Seriously? The teenage witch? You are all whacked in the head if you truly think this is a valid reason to avoid this name.

Btw, haha to the hummus poster

I really like this name and considered it EXCEPT some of the potential nicknames really don't go with our last name.

I think a longer name like that is more likely to get a nickname. But I think if she doesn't want one, she can correct people I know a Victoria that doesn't let anything but Victoria slide. But it will be her doing that, not you. She might like having a nickname. So I'd be prepared she might be ok with being called one of the nicknames you don't like.

Personally I would avoid this because of the show . She asked for our opinions and here they are. Think about people your age who know the show. They will associate Sabrina with the teenage witch.

It's my middle name. I love it!

I had a friend named Alexandra growing up. She managed to avoid Alex, Lexi, Alexa her entire life by introducing herself as Alexandra and that's it.

Ok, but you are the adult. Are you going to tease a child for their name that is associated with a 15-20 year old show?

I would hope not. Bout children won't be familiar with this show. Her classmates won't automatically go there.

Also, I agree with the Audrey Hepburn poster. It's a movie.

Of course not. But I'm sure her friends parents are going to say, "Sabrina, like the show?" Anyway do what you want. Personally I think it's cruel to do this to your daughter.

I'm a Sabrina. Never used a nickname, although my immediate family and best friend occasionally call me Bri or Brina.

I was a teenager at the height of the show's popularity, and the only time it ever bothered me in the slightest was when I had a cashier job and wore a nametag. Then, every 4th person was making the joke, and it just got old. "Oh, aren't you clever? Yes, a tv character and I have the same name. Here's your receipt." (I dreamt of saying that. Normally I would just smile and be glad when they left.) It is not as if the tv character was evil or gross somehow.

Sabrina born in the early 80's here. I was Sabrina like Charlie's Angels. And I can't say it was particularly cruel or hurtful. But the world is probably desperate for another Catherine or Elizabeth
