I saw this name on a TV credits and sort of like it. Around here Annabelle is very popular so a bit different ?

I think there's a Spanish actress called Maribel Verdu. I like it, but I didn't know it was a potato as well

Marielle is much nicer

Sounds made up to me.

Sounds very American South to me.

I've never been skiing, I do like potatoes and cheese though 😁 Apparently name can mean star of the sea or bitter / sour hmmmm ?

She will spend her life explaining that no, she was not named after a ski resort and the spelling is different blah blah. No.

It doesn't appeal to me at all. I do like Christabel as an alternative to the more popular bel names. If you like the Mari bit I prefer Marianne, Marian/Marion. Though not a great fan of Mabel either, I do prefer it over Maribel.

It's the name of a Really good potato from the Asda extra special range. Delicious as jacket potatoes to wedges.

Yerawizard · 01/01/2020 01:00

I like it!

JustASmallTownCurl · 01/01/2020 00:59

Love ittttt

Krazynights34 · 01/01/2020 00:55

Love it!

Prefer Mirabelle.
