HelpRe: Bella
in reply to a message by Lily
Bella is also a Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) name that isn't short for anything. I know of one Bella, just Bella and not a more formal name. I honestly don't think it will put pressure on a kid. One doesn't have to be physically attractive Vogue-style in order to lay claim to the name. If you think about it, almost everyone is beautiful in their personality or actions or thoughtfulness.
I prefer Annabella is you want to use the nickname Bella. Do you like any of Bella names, like Arabella, Rosabella, Amabella, Christabella? Maybe you like one of them better than Annabella? I personally think you could get away with using Annabel with the nickname Bella. It doesn't seem in any way contrived to me.
I think a lot of Isabella's might go by Bella in passing because it's such an easy-peasy nickname. You don't have to think about it.
