[Opinions] Ophis, Seraphin, Saraph
What do you think of the names
Ophis - pronounced O-fiss
and
Saraph - pronounced SAHR-ruf not sayr-uf/sa-ruf
also Zeraphin/Seraphin - do you like this for a boy?
And how do you pronounced Sahar? Is that a boys name?

I don't like Ophis, sorry. :-Saraph is a little bit difficult to pronounce your way, and I'm not sure I like Z/Seraphin for a boy. (Serafina is beautiful for a girl, though.)Sahar is pronounced SAH-har with a heavy h and a heavy r, almost like Sah-had. it is a legit name; it's the Arabic version of Sarah, so it is a girl's name.

HiOphis looks beautiful but sound a little close to oafish - if it weren't for that it would be a lovely name but i cant see past that at the mo. maybe it will grow on me.Zeraphin/Seraphin i think are really nice but a little feminine sounding. in my inexpert opinion i would use them for girlsLove Clara

Ophis- This is interesting. Where's it from?
Saraph- It means burned in Hebrew :) (actually, sah-RAHF means burned in Hebrew, but when I saw Saraph that was the first thing I thought of) but it's nice.
Zeraphin/Seraphin- Zeraphin looks weird, and wrong- there's no need to spell Seraphin weirdly, it's weird enough by itself! And it's nms - I like Serafine on a girl, and they're kind of the same! If you're going to masculinize Seraphina, I like Seraph much better.
Sahar is a literary word for moon in Hebrew, is that where you got it? I don't know any Sahars, I know a few Sa'ars though (sa'ar = stormy in Hebrew). It's nice.
