I just wanted to say while it’s nice to have someone else by the same name as me it’s a little agitating. I have had this name for 25 years and then suddenly they pick and everyone coos over it! But congratulations none the less babies are wonderful gifts from God no matter what the name. God Bless!

As for the 4-syllable names – I can’t think of all of them, but there are quite a few lovely names out there (imo):

Catalina, Carolina, Amelia (Emilia), Arabella, Magdalena, Alicia (pron: Ah-lee-see-uh), Luciana, Veronica…and January!

I LOVE the name choice! Seraphina is a beautiful, dramatic name and has been on my list(s) for years, but spelled Serafina. I’m sure it will become so popular like Violet did (which could make me nix it from our list). I think it works with Violet – the middle names don’t matter as much. Children are rarely called by their middle names and both daughters have strong names, though different in a different style. I really hope Ben and Jen don’t lean toward Sera as a nickname – it’s just too common.

They seem to have done the reverse of many celebrities, by going from a more mainstream name to a more unusual one. It may be that this name has family significance as well, I guess we’ll just have to wait an see! I think they name is pretty, but not as likely to catch on with the masses. Which may have been their point.

Other 4 syllable names off the top of my head: Alexandra, Alexandria (5!), Ariana, Liliana

I think it is just beautiful although it is not the choice I would have made. It feels classic but not to common to me.

This time the second child’s name was wilder than the first. But Seraphina is wild only in terms of not being popular. It is a beautiful name. Blessings to you, Ben, Jen, and Violet! A wonderful new year with your new girl!

More creative than I gave them credit for. Seraphina is a very pretty name. Once the baby’s picture starts showing up in magazines, she’ll probably have some namesakes. I wonder if it will break the top 1,000 for 2009, especially since she was born at the start of the year and other parents will have time to be inspired.

Violet was already rising in popularity when the older girl was named, so I don’t think they get sole credit for its popularity, but they will if Seraphina becomes better used.

I also completely agree with Elisabeth that it’s a lovely, surprising choice that feels compatible with Violet and I don’t think the two sisters need to be a boxed set.
