How to test a girl name
Write the full name out with the surname and look at the initials. Say it the way a teacher would on the first day of school, then the way a friend would shout it across a park. Think about the likely nicknames too. Long names such as Seraphina almost always get shortened, so make sure you like Sera as well. Finally, check how the name is spelled and pronounced by the people who will use it most, including grandparents and relatives who speak other languages.
