I love the name Arabella, have done since I was about 15, but I’m not keen on the association with the Arctic Monkeys song. I like the band but somewhat dislike the fact that people might think i’m naming my child after a song. Thoughts? (do most people associate it with the song?)

Never heard a song with the name...

I love the name but hate AM and since my partner played me that song it’s put a dampener on the name, and it’s all I think of when I hear Arabella. I reckon once you saw your daughter though all hatred for the song would go out the window and you’d only ever know Arabella as your daughter. I say go for it!

It's very pretty but long. Choose a short form you like if you are going to use it. Ari/Bella/Ella perhaps.

Met a lady called Arabella a few weeks ago. Thought the name was really lovely and so was she. No knowledge of AM song.

Sorry, sounds like a pasta sauce to me

I wouldn’t even consider the song. It’s a beautiful name.

Love the name. Don't know the song, so don't associate the name with it!

ApplesTheHare · 25/01/2018 19:32

Hmm, I was an AM fan but can't even remember which song you're talking about so you're probably safe. They haven't been famous for about 10 years have they?

I've no idea what song you're referring to, so I guess not everyone will associate it with the song!
