I hadn't heard the name until last week. I love the meaning "yielding to prayer". I saw it reading about my family history. One of my ancestors came over on the boat Arabella with General Lafayette. I have been using family names as middle names but when I saw it I thought maybe I could use it. I don't really like many names that end in A as they sound too over the top. Usually I like Isabel over Isabela. But this one had me dreaming about a kid with this incorporated into it somehow. I also saw a Boat name while in Glacier National Park Emmaline and would love to use that name too but we have been using Biblical and family names so I don't think I will see either of these used on my children. I don't think I would like it as much if the meaning was lame or I didn't know of the family history
