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.

@Fadette

Makes me think of Babybel even though names like Annabel etc. don't.
Yes! Clarabel nn BabyBel!

Thomas the Tank!

Sounds like a cheap hairspray.

Thank you all for your opinions.
And I’ve decided Claribel it won’t be 😂.

I’ll be naming her Arlina.

Annie and Claribel here too OP

stealthninjamum · 26/11/2021 11:15

My immediate thought was moo as well.

LittleGwyneth · 26/11/2021 11:12

What about Meribel, Marial or Christobel?

TuftyMarmoset · 25/11/2021 11:17

Claribel sounds like a contraceptive pill
Clarabelle sounds like a cow

Just use Clara!

PurplePeaks · 25/11/2021 11:07

Oh gosh, I thought cow's name as well

isthismylifenow · 25/11/2021 11:07

Imo it is a nickname version of Claire?Clare

I know a Clare and her family all call her Clarabelle.

Scirocco · 25/11/2021 11:04

I prefer Clara or Christabel; Claribel/Clarabel has too strong an association with children's TV and farmyard animals for me, sorry.

UsernameIsHarderThanBabyName · 25/11/2021 11:03

I’m not keen sorry but I do love the suggestion of Christabel.

Fadette · 25/11/2021 07:11

Tillymintpolo · 25/11/2021 07:08

Christabel was a suffragette, much better choice

RedRobin100 · 25/11/2021 07:07

Reminds me of cheese?

Daisy03 · 25/11/2021 07:06

Isn't clarabel the name of the cow in Mickey Mouse clubhouse

foxgoosefinch · 24/11/2021 23:01

I'd definitely go for Christabel instead (lovely name!), or something similar like Mirabelle, Marielle, Mariana. Leonie, which a pp suggested, also goes beautifully with your other DD's name.

I met a little girl toddler over the summer called Amadea - that struck me as a really lovely, unusual name!

MuscariMuguet · 24/11/2021 23:01

I like it. I don't have the associations others have mentioned.

MurielSpriggs · 24/11/2021 22:55

Sister for Dobbin

Kite22 · 24/11/2021 22:51

Thomas is dying out so I wouldn't worry about the Clarabel / Annie thing.

Not with the hundreds of U5s I work with every year

BobbieT1999 · 24/11/2021 22:43

I actually like Claribel more the longer this thread goes on Grin

SantiagoSky · 24/11/2021 22:28

I like Clara, Clarissa, or Claire better.

Figgygal · 24/11/2021 22:25

I’d think you’d it wrong then I’d think of Thomas or cows
Either way there’s better names out there
