I did always wonder how you got yours.My username is a nickname family uses for me. It's a shortened version of off my first name.
I like your first nameMy first name is Sabena. I tried spelling it "Sabina" when I was a kid. I got SO tired of people calling me Sabrina then explaining that there was NO "r" in my name. Another issue would be people pronouncing it with a long "i".
I am half Croatian myself! My mom has a very unusual name (for non-slavic people), she tried shortening it to make it easier and people still can't say it properly! Now she just laughs at all the different ways people say it.I like your first name
My best friend is Croatian and had similar problem, her 1st name can be spelt amd pronounced 2 ways.
But mostly it gets shortened
