NN for Sabrina

We're naming DD Sabrina, I love the whole name but I know that for practical reasons it'll get shortened very often (DS is Leonardo and we call him Leo 90% of the time)

That being said, which nn first comes to mind when you hear the name Sabrina?

Sabree?, Bree? Breena?

It's a great name. Breena was the first NN to come to mind when I read your title. Super cute. I like Bree, too.

DD#2 is named Sabrina. i planned when pg to call her "bree" for her nn but i have NEVER called her that yet.  DD#1 always said SaBEANa when i pg so we started calling her Bean.  Now we call her Sabreen, Bean, Beana, Beanie, etc. Maybe when she's older she'll want to be called Bree ( i do love that nn)

This is my FSIL's name. Her friends call her Sabi or Sabby, Bri, Brina, Rina. The family doesn't really shorten her name, she's Sabrina to us. :) It's a beautiful name!

I have a similar first name in that it has three syllables and there really isn't a common NN for it.  My name never gets shortened.  

My favorite girls name is Sabina and I was going to use Bina or Beenie.  Alas I had two boys.

Bree is what springs to my mind, but I'd just roll with whatever comes naturally once she's here.

Congrats on choosing--Sabrina is such a gorgeous name!

DD#2 is named Sabrina. i planned when pg to call her "bree" for her nn but i have NEVER called her that yet.  DD#1 always said SaBEANa when i pg so we started calling her Bean.  Now we call her Sabreen, Bean, Beana, Beanie, etc. Maybe when she's older she'll want to be called Bree ( i do love that nn)

This - the only Sabrina I've ever known was usually called Bean. Not great for an adult, but I think it's adorable on a little girl!

Many nicknames aren't planned, they just come about. Mine was also because my sister who was not quite one and a half couldn't say my whole name. Others are from the kid's personality. Sabrina is a very nice name, I'm sure a nickname that fits will come to you!
