Ever since I saw the Englished dubed Sailor Moon episodes, I fell in love with the name Serena. Always hated my real name, Jessica. So blah and since it was a very popular name, there was always at least another Jessica in my class. If I ever have kids I will name one of the girls Serena.
Interestingly enough, if I ever have a daughter this will be her name and for the same reason.
Though I must add that the spanish version of that anime was a WHOLE lot different than the english one. Having seen the original Japenese as well I can say the english dub character was horribly, horribly butchered.
Studying the name as well I'd say if I have a son his name would be alexander. both be classical greek era names...so I guess they'd fit together.
For myself.. well, lets just say my name is unusual enough yet 'normal' that I have no qualms with it.
