may i add tinkerbelle?

moondog · 11/08/2010 19:34

I do like Mirabelle (spelt like that) very much indeed.
The rest? Nnot keen.

The dog is Tinkerbell, so best avoid that one, Ronald ;)

Mirabel is pretty and I like Christabel(le), because one of my friends is called that. Not keen on the others. Arabella a bit horsey for my tastes, and the other two sound made up.

Christabel - love this one
Dorabelle - no, definitely not.
Arabella - no, what do you shorten it too?! and, it reminds me of arabel farming.
Mirabel - I like this one! I also love Maribel.
Rosabelle - no. Rosa is nice, and Bel is nice, but the two together, good lord, I have to repeat my earlier comment about gorging on cream cakes.

christabel, Mirabel and Maribel really lovely though.

ValiumSingleton · 11/08/2010 20:10

btw, can you just stick belle on the end of any name?!

dorabelle?! That doesn't sound right. Was that really in the name book?! It sounds like, Madisonbelle, or Chelseabelle, just totally bananaas.

ValiumSingleton · 11/08/2010 20:10

Libertybelle

Tootlesmummy · 11/08/2010 20:13

If the dog is Tinkerbell I would avoid any names with Bell/belle on the end personally.

Sorry not keen on any of them.

ValiumSingleton · 11/08/2010 20:15

Christa for short is cool btw. Better than Izzy. Maybe the dog could be re-branded, just 'tinker'.

hattiehardie · 11/08/2010 20:26

Christobel is nice - I was going to call dd2 this but no one else liked it - it could be shortened to Belle for a nickname.

Also like Mirabel but don't like any of the others.

benandoli · 11/08/2010 20:32

Mirabel - lovely
Dorabelle - awful
Arabella- lovely
