I'm of Spanish descent and am having real difficulty choosing between my favorite girl names; Areola and Satchelle. DH and I have been arguing about it non-stop for MONTHS. I'm due in two weeks, please help ladies! Any other suggestions welcome...

Satchelle is lovely! Reminds me of my niece's name, Rochelle, which I also think is gorgeous. Areola is not that bad - calm down everyone

Sorry but Areola is too 'nippley'

What about Ariella? DD's have a little friend called Ariella and, personally, I think its just really cute!

Not the nipple name. Definitely not.

Not hugely keen on Satchelle either. There must be much nicer Spanish names.

mum47 · 10/04/2012 16:25

Sorry, no to either, especially the nipple one. Arianna or Ariadne are both nice though. Think seriously about when they go to school :)

Good one! Grin

There are loads of other Spanish names - you seem to have picked the oddest ones.

Voidka · 10/04/2012 16:29

And I agree - I think Satchell is a boys name.

You asked for opinions.Confused Sorry your names are vile you didn't get the support you were after, have you tried netmums?

MickyDodger · 10/04/2012 17:20

Nice for you that your childrens names express your passions and your soul, but you're not the one who'd have to go around with a name that means Nipple or Schoolbag.
It's not all about you.

Why not just make up a name like your first child?

PinkPolkaDots · 10/04/2012 17:32

I'm honestly not sure if this is a wind up? Confused
If it is serious then I'm sorry but I agree with what everyone else has said - nipple or satchel bag? Neither of these names would work in the UK without a lot of teasing for the child.
'I really don't think mumsnet are being very supportive. Not sure this is the help I was looking for...'
you have come on asking for honest opinions - people have given you that - please get upset/offended when people have given you honest unbiased opinions just because you don't like the answer. There's no point asking for advice/feedback then not taking it.
