[name_f]Sapphira[/name_f] looks “right” to me, but I’m a native English speaker.

Haha I’m an English speaker as well. [name_m]Just[/name_m] the surname that’s Italian :wink: I think that’s why it looks right with the p’s to me too

I think [name_f]Saphira[/name_f] or [name_f]Safira[/name_f].

[name_f]Sapphira[/name_f] looks like [name_f]Sapphire[/name_f] (duh), which makes it feel a little like a stripper name.

[name_f]Saffira[/name_f] and [name_f]Safira[/name_f] are fine, but the F looks very harsh to my eyes.

[name_f]Saphira[/name_f] almost looks like it’s an exotic form of the name [name_f]Sarah[/name_f]. I like it.

I voted [name_f]Sapphira[/name_f] but after reading your post, [name_f]Saffira[/name_f] seems like the best match and Saffie is better than Sapphie. I do get the appeal of [name_f]Saphira[/name_f] too!
