Re: Thoughts on Arabella?
in reply to a message by Mary
It's a lovely name, and it has more of a backbone than Ariella, but it's close enough to popular names for girls, such as Isabella and Ariana / Arianna, that it seems even more popular than it actually is. I expect that it will keep rising in popularity. I'm surprised that it took as long as it did to enter the top 1000 in the U.S.I prefer Arabelle to Arabella. Arabella is a bit too frilly for me, but that's true of most -ella names. I tend to go for -elle over -ella names.I hate Bella, and I'm not too keen on Ella, but I like Elle, Ellie, and Ara as nicknames for Arabella.
