I don’t know if I would use [name]Annabel[/name] with [name]Sena[/name]. Sounds of very rhyme-y.
As for “color” names…
Maybe [name]Lavender[/name] or [name]Violet[/name].
I love [name]Sena[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Annabel[/name]!
While [name]Sena[/name] is beautiful, it does not match well with [name]Leopold[/name]. I think giving her a new first name actually is an important part of the adoption process, where you get to welcome her into your family and give her a name. She is very young so it would not be hard on her to get a new name with your touch as a mom. Think about it…
I thought of a wonderful suggestion!
Use the name [name]Seraphina[/name]… and her nickname would be [name]Sena[/name]! Perfect. She would still be called [name]Sena[/name] everyday but she has a beautiful name to write on paper and grow with in time. It is nice to give babies the option of what names/nicknames to use throughout elementary, HS, college, etc.
Also wanted to mention that [name]Seraphina[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] or [name]Seraphina[/name] [name]Rose[/name] is a beautiful combo!
I love the name [name]Sena[/name], and love the combo [name]Sena[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Annabel[/name] the best!
Congratulations to you!
[name]Sena[/name] Rosabel [name]Juliet[/name] just jumped out and grabbed me. I can’t really explain it. But I also really love [name]Sena[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Annabel[/name].
I love the name [name]Sena[/name] … I voted for [name]Sena[/name] [name]Violet[/name] [name]Annabel[/name]
I voted for [name]Sena[/name] [name]Violet[/name] [name]Annabel[/name], because it’s very pretty and I love that you’re choosing colour names to tie it in with your family (I’d love to hear more about that). I also love the idea of using your last name, though, and only didn’t vote for it because I don’t know exactly what it is. If you love it as a middle, I would definitely suggest using it 
Thank you for the feedback. [name]Violet[/name] [name]Annabel[/name] is the front runner right now. I imagine calling her [name]Sena[/name] [name]Belle[/name] as a nickname.
Roseandlillies, that’s actually against everything put out in adoption literature. Keeping their given name is the only tie to their past. If we were to re-name her we’d pick a name used in her culture: [name]Hana[/name]. [name]Seraphina[/name] is pretty though!
Any other feedback?
I voted [name]Sena[/name] [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Annabel[/name], as an adoptee I applaud and admire you for keeping her first name. It’s part of her identity and at 17 months she probably responds to it, [name]IMO[/name] to change it this late in the game sends a message that you’re rejecting a part of who she is.
People can argue I’m wrong and that’s fine but unless you’ve been in an adoptees position and can contemplate this issue from our side you really can’t understand how important and meaningful something like this is. It may be the only thing her biological parents or orphanage gave her and to let her keep that is a great sign of love and acceptance [name]IMO[/name].
I think [name]Sena[/name] Rosabel [name]Juliet[/name] is a gorgeous name! I think it flows alot better than the other options.
I voted for [name]Sena[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Annabel[/name]. Very pretty.
I voted for [name]Sena[/name] [name]Violet[/name] [name]Annabel[/name]. I think [name]Sena[/name] is a beautiful name!
I chose [name]Sena[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] [name]Annabel[/name] because it fits your criteria the best and the sound and flow are excellent. I applaud you too for keeping your daughter’s first name. In future if she likes one of her given middles better she can always use those instead but you will have kept her story for her. Good luck!
Thank you for validating out choice to keep her name. I feel like even moving it to the middle spot would be the wrong choice for us- and I’m giving her lots of choices ( like you mentioned peach).
If we will be using [name]Belle[/name] as part of her nickname potentially- does it matter if we spell it [name]Annabel[/name] or [name]Annabelle[/name]? I prefer the first spelling way better.
Thanks!
I don’t think the spelling of [name]Annabel[/name]/[name]Annabelle[/name] matters if you’re using [name]Belle[/name] as part of her nickname. I prefer the [name]Annabel[/name] spelling because it’s simpler and more straightforward. [name]Annabelle[/name] just seems unnecessarily elaborate to me.
[name]Sena[/name] [name]Rose[/name] has the best flow because of the 2-1-3 syllable combo. The others are 2-2
[name]Sena[/name] [name]Violet[/name] [name]Annabel[/name] really jumped out at me from the top of the list! [name]Sena[/name] [name]Belle[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name] is very pretty, too.
