[Opinions] Re: Bella
in reply to a message by Billina
It's okay, I liked it a lot as a very young teenager, but not so much anymore.
It still makes me think of Twilight a lot, which is definitely not a good thing (I mean I like watching it for the laughs but I wouldn't want to be associated with the character.
It also makes me think of the horrible murder case in which one of the little girls was named Bella Marie. That was just heartbreaking.
Overall I think it will not age well. I also dislike Isabella.
No, I think it will never escape Twilight, at least not for people who grew up with it. No idea how the films and books will do with future generations, but my guess is that the films could become awful cult classics (as in "so bad they're funny") watched by generation after generation. Kind of like "Dirty Dancing" (even though that is much better of course).
I am also confused at it rising again, I thought its good times were already over.
I think I actually prefer Bella to Isabella. Bella is more spunky and makes me think of bright pink colors, Isabella feels bland.
I guess if I had to use it I would use it as a nickname for Annabel, which is a name I love. I'd rather call her Annabel, though. Maribel is nice as well.
