Claribel, your thoughts on the name?

[Unknown20199]

Hello lovelies,

I’m 18 weeks pregnant with my second, and it’s a girl. 🥰

My first daughter name is Roselina.
Now, for this one I’ve liked Claribel, what are your thoughts? Or any suggests are welcome.

[Kite22]

Isn't it usually spelled Clarabel ?

Either way, my mind went straight to the carriages on Thomas the Tank Engine. I'd automatically be asking where Annie was.

[elQuintoConyo]

Moo. Friends with Daisy and Frieda.

[Heartdogs]

In my mind Clarabel is a cow, an actual cow not an unpleasant person.
Clara-Jayne maybe

[HundredMilesAnHour]

Claribel sounds like some sort of prescription medication, sorry.

[LittleBearPad]

Clarabel follows Annie and Thomas.

[PixelatedLunchbox]

Sorry. Sounds like a cow name.

[LightDrizzle]

Moo here too I’m afraid OP.
A lovely doe-eyed Jersey moo but still probably not what you were hoping for.

[Luredbyapomegranate]

It’s usually spelt Clarabel. It’s ok. I prefer Christabel, it has more history as a name.

Cassia, Cassandra, Camilla..

[EileenGC]

I very rarely ‘see’ anything in names, even unusual ones, but Claribel screams Babybel to me. So I wouldn’t.

This is why it’s good to post on here, and get peoples opinions.

I sound dull but I have never watched Thomas.
Thank you for your feedback, appreciative! ☺️

I prefer Christabel which had the same feel but no Thomas connotations! A traditional but unusual name - Emmeline Pankhurst's daughter was called Christabel.

[DramaAlpaca]

No to Claribel/Clarabel for all the reasons above.

Christabel is a great suggestion.

How about Mirabel?

[Smokeahontas]

Sorry, sounds like the Aldi version of Babybel.

[SkankingMopoke]

Definitely an association with Thomas the Tank for me too. I wasn't a fan as a kid myself, and I have 2 DDs who weren't fans either, but my mind still goes straight to the train carriage.

[WarmthAndDepth]

Came to suggest gorgeous Christabel, see others got there first. Such a lovely name.

[Danikm151]

In the midlands Claribel is a bus company.
There’s also claribel the cow on disney

[Scarby9]

The only Clarabel (spelt like that) I have ever heard of was the carriage on Thomas the Tank Engine.

[BobbieT1999]

I like Claribel!

Spelled with an "i"; it's different/unusual and pretty.

[Snugglybuggly]

Thomas the tank!
Or poss a cow's name..
I'd go for something else

[WinterberrySpice]

Reminds me of carobel, sorry.

[ThanksMateThanksMate]

My DD1 is Claire and we call her Clara-bow as a nickname. Knew of another Claire who got Clarabelle and she was lovely.
You could name her Claire/Clare/Clair and go with a nickname?

[EvilRingahBitch]

Mooo

@Smokeahontas

Sorry, sounds like the Aldi version of Babybel.

Oh yes, this! Sweet name, but it has dairy and medication connotations.

How about Anna-Clara or Clarissa? Christabel is a good suggestion, and here in Australia the spelling Chrystobel was used in the 19th century, if you want some great-granny chic.

I like Roselina -- wasn't she Romeo's big crush before he met Juliet?

[tootiredtobother]

no, sorry we had a cow by that name, she did come when called tho.

[TatianaBis]

Christabel is lovely.
