[Opinions] Serrena?
What do you think of the name Serrena? It is pronounced ‘Sir - ren - a’ instead of ‘Sir - ree - na’

I don't care for the way you are pronouncing it and if I saw Serrena I would assume it was pronounced like Serena.

For some reason I see “SARE-uh-nuh” with this spelling. To get the pronunciation you mentioned I’d expect Serenna, with one R and two Ns. I think so many people are familiar with Serena that it’s asking for confusion and mixups to choose something so close.

I like how it sounds. Not super hot on how it looks. It sounds pretty and I like it, but where it's so close to Serena, I think she'd spend her whole life correcting people over and over. People would never hear it right. It would be a headache.

I don't think the second r is necessary. The pronunciation is nicer than sə-REE-nə, but I still don't like it much.
