[Opinions] Seraphine, by miles. (m)
in reply to a message by Random
Not only do I prefer Seraphine to the more popular (though still relatively rare) Seraphina, but Camellia is visually confusing.
I know it's a flower, and it's pronounced ka-MEE-lee-ah. This spelling, however, looks like ka-MEL-ee-uh. Camelia makes more sense for the long-E pronunciation, but that's not how the flower is spelled, and looks like we're just doing something funky with Amelia or Camilla. Oy.
