Mirabelle / Mirabella ...
WDYT of Mirabelle and Mirabella?
I would be more inclined to use Mirabelle for two reasons.
Reason One : because my grandmother's name is Belle and my favorite name is Mira and it combines the two.
Reason Two: My niece's name is Ella and the end part of Mirabella may cause confusion in my family.
I do love the sound of Mirabella though, and while I'll probably end up just using Mira one day, I love Mirabelle and love the fact that when combined with Ruth it would honor both of my grandmother's, my mother and myself : )
