I'm of Spanish descent and am having real difficulty choosing between my favorite girl names; Areola and Satchelle. DH and I have been arguing about it non-stop for MONTHS. I'm due in two weeks, please help ladies! Any other suggestions welcome...

Areola = nipple
Satchelle = satchel

Love Aurelia, what about Ariadne?

EBDteacher · 09/04/2012 21:03

Yes, Aurelia or Arianna instead of Areola.

Ali2girls · 09/04/2012 21:00

Can never quite believe how honest some people can be but have to admit myself that this time neither sound like great choices! Aurelia is a good suggestion though :)

Stellan I think your right! Hmm

Ummm Areola is actually a traditional name from the area in Spain where my family come from, its very common around there and I've always thought its very beautiful; its my great grandmother's name. Now I know that though, might cross it off the list!!! Satchelle is in the top ten Jamaican names where we have a holiday home. I've always loved Jamaica and the way of life there and really want to bring an element of that into my family. My other DC is called Tiyone-Jose, like I say I love the idea of combining the elements of my cultural interests!!! Tiyone is a mixture Tyrone and Tony.

Areole definitely makes me think of nipples and the other one makes me think of a school satchel. Sorry, not very helpful!

Areola makes me think nipples. Satchelle is different and could grow on me
