Currently the name Arabella is at the top of my name list for my little girl due in July I'm wondering what else might be similar that I've not thought of that I might like?

[quote Scrunchies]@Luredbyapomegranate I notice Belinda is on your list! I love this name but asked about it on this board about a year ago and got told it’s awful and something to do with a porno podcast 🤣 reallly hope it’s becoming more acceptable as I’d love to use it![/quote]
Oh - people are ridiculous. The only famous Belindas are popstars - Carlisle and the Spanish American one. You could associate tons of women’s names with porn if you wanted to, it’s just obscure.

It’s a very pretty and elegant name, timeless, good for a child and an adult, and unusual right now but most people have heard of it and it’s easy to spell. Pretty perfect actually.
