Hi folks,

Do you prefer Bella or Freya? Or neither!? 👀

Freya - it was v v popular a few years ago, but it’s lovely.

Bella means beautiful and is really just a nn. It’s also a bit Disney and sounds disconcertingly like Belly. If you do go for it use Isabel or Annabella or whatever as a full name.

Stella
Aphra
Frieda
Hera
Clara
Esther
Emma
Flora
Thora
Oona

might be others

If you go to the park you will hear Bella shouted many times over because it’s a popular dogs name at the moment.

Neither, both immensely popular and overused and all paired with Rose/Grace/May. Plus I find Bella a bit wet.

Freya.
But it's very popular atm.

Freya. Bella is a dogs name

Freya is lovely. Bella sounds more like a nickname or term of endearment.

Freya! I have one, she's the only one in her school and every club she goes to.

Bella 💕

Freya is nicer. Bella is more of a nickname or name for a pet.

Bella! I hear Freya a lot lately!
