I currently have a 4 year old boy called Jacob and am expecting baby number 2 in December (a girl)

I have always loved the name Bella for a girl but I have concerns that it might be too much like certain films that came out around 2010 involving vampires and warewolves 😂 do you think that this would be the case? Or should I just go with the name I love.

Any baby name suggestions are welcome!!

Bella is sweet but I think it's nicer as a nn. It's a bit insubstantial as a full name.

I'd go for Annabel, Annabella or Arabella and shorten it.

Isabella works too, but its just so overused in the last 15 years.

Arabella?

Bella is lovely ☺️ I personally would use Isabella or Annabella with Bella for short to give her options if she prefers when she’s older.

Lily
Ella
Zoe
Lila
Isla
Elsie
Layla
Milly
Molly

Most common dog name and a shortened version of Isabella.

LOVE Ella though.

Yes I think unfortunately that association is way too strong! I didn't even watch them and it's the first thing I thought of.

How about Stella, Bonnie, Delilah, Annabel, Mila?

What about Isabella? Then you could have Bella as a pet name for her, but have the option of using her full name if things are as you fear.

Bella is a very popular dog name right now.
I like classic sounding names like Sophia, Emily
