Seraphin is plural for seraphim.

Ah, okay. Something like "Left Birds Wing" or "Left Angels Wing" still doesn't sound right to me, although I am not a native english speaker :x

As a native American English speaker, Seraphim being plural in the situation doesn't make sense to me. If there were an s, it would make more sense to be an 's, belonging to the bird or angel, but even that is iffy.

Does anyone actually own one to varify that it says "Seraphin" and that wasn't just a typo? It does sound weird but unless it gets re-released it's not really worth arguing to get it renamed.

what? i thought seraph was the singular version of seraphim. seraphim is definitely plural (just like cherub and cherubim). seraphin isn't even a word i don't think, and it can't be the plural form of seraphim because seraphim is already the plural form of seraph.

Seraphim and Seraphin are both acceptable plural versions of the Latin forms of the word.

ok, i wasn't sure for that, but you still said seraphin was plural for seraphim when that's not the case. they would be interchangeable...

According to Wikipedia: "Seraphin is a masculine given name, adopted from Latin Serafinus, Greek Serafim (Σεραφειμ, Russian Серафим), ultimately from the Hebrew word seraph." The accessory really should be either seraph or seraphim.

Wikipedia also states that they are just plural forms of the word. I don't see why it would have to conform to a female version instead of just leaving it how it is.

Because as far as I can tell seraphin isn't an English word? I'm gonna stop arguing this until we can get an admin to weigh in.
