Bellona

I agree with EUPHOORIA, it's a nice name but I can't help but think of Bellona the mattress brand.

I named my daughter this, she is 12 now and goes by “Bella” most of the time because people pronounced her name wrong.

There's a mattress brand named Bellona in Turkey, it ruins the name for me.

I personally like this name. It's very pretty. Of course, I say it as "bell-on-a" but, I like it. I thought that maybe a girl with the name could be nicknamed "Belle" — which was thought to be the French word for "beautiful." And the "to fight" meaning is very nice for modern girls. I could personally picture myself naming a daughter this.

Superiority in war was the primary thing that made the Romans great, before even their cultural or architectural achievements. They conquered half the world for a reason. It's hard to imagine that any real person would actually live up to the implications of this name, and it's hard to imagine anyone who would want their daughter growing up to do so. Probably best for fictional people.

I have a friend who named her daughter this and spells it Bellana. Pronounced Bell-on-ah. I think it sounds pretty.

This sounds like bologna.

I don't think the meaning's awful. You don't have to interpret "to fight" as something negative. One can fight for a dream, for his/her life, for chances. I think it's a strong meaning.

Oh, I'm torn with this name, it sounds *so* beautiful, but I hate, hate, HATE the meaning. Oh well. Does anyone know of any alternative meanings?

Is a very beautiful name, however in elementray schools the children may call the child with this name "Bologna".

Very pretty name with an awesome meaning.
