Ariella
Any thoughts on the name Ariella?

Ariella is pretty, but I find Arielle more approachable and friendly and less frilly.
My cousin has 7 kids and this is the only one whose name I really like. We call her Ella.
Pretty
I love it
I think that Ariella is really pretty; it wouldn't be my first naming choice, but I wouldn't complain about using it.
I love it, but prefer Arielle. It seems more elegant, less frilly. Both are gorgeous.
It's ok
The rhythm bothers me. I prefer Isabel to Isabella for the same reason, but I don't find Ariel or Arielle particularly interesting. Shakespeare's flying fairy is male, if fairies have gender, and that sticks in my mind I suppose.
