I personally don't like it. It sounds made up. My friend has a sister named Kristellen, and I think it sounds very made up too. I just don't like 'em. Sorry.

I normally like -belle/-bella names, but not this one. Maybe it's just the "t-a after the b" sound.

I think it's pretty ^.^

I love Christabel, this spelling only, as in Coleridge's poem. The spelling Christabelle is just too much, IMO.

I like Christabelle a lot! It's my favourite spelling, too. Christabella is nice as well ... For either, I love the nickname Christi.

Does she actually get called that, all three syllables?

I like Christabel and I agree with Chrisell that the -lle is too too much. But I'd hope that a young Christabel would be called Christa or something, by her peers.. Christabel is a fanciful old mouthful for contemporary everyday affairs, to the point that it gets in its own way.

I positively adore the name Christabel- it's one of my very favourites. :)

Christabelle is too cutsey for me, though.

I rather like Christabel but the 'lle' ending is too much for me.

I'd never use it because it's too close to my own name, anyway.
