What do people think of the name Arabella?

Name help needed!

Too frilly for my taste. It's really down to what you like though. Are there any other names you like? If we get a feel for your style then we could suggest some.

It's a bit too much for my taste.

userabcname · 23/06/2019 18:10

Like it

17caterpillars1mouse · 23/06/2019 18:51

I quite like it but prefer Arabel or Amabel. Less frilly

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 23/06/2019 18:51

I like it.

MikeUniformMike · 23/06/2019 19:15

It's beautiful but it is too long. It will be Ella or Bella.
Arabel is awful and Amabel looks like a typo.

Divgirl2 · 23/06/2019 19:21

I don't love it. What about Marielle or Flora?

qj17 · 23/06/2019 19:27

I quite like it, like the connotation with the artic monkeys song.

Not keen - sounds like a caricature of an aristocratic, pony riding, rich girl.

diddlediddle · 23/06/2019 21:22

It's nice if you like frilly names. It's getting a bit popular tho.

What about Abella? Apparently it means "breath that is source of life."

SnowyAlpsandPeaks · 23/06/2019 21:35

I like it.

JaneGlorianaVillanueva · 23/06/2019 22:34

I like it but it is quite posh if that makes a difference! Then again one of my favourite names is Aurelia and that's really posh Haha

DramaAlpaca · 23/06/2019 23:18

I like it. I think of it as pretty & quite poshnot overly frilly.

Tillygetsit · 23/06/2019 23:23

Too frilly for my taste sorry.

Refilona · 23/06/2019 23:25

I like the arctic monkeys song and don’t see it as frilly because of it!

memaymamo · 23/06/2019 23:39

I like Arabella, it's very pretty. I wouldn't use it myself because it feels a bit long but I think you should use it!

Owlbert · 24/06/2019 17:03

Love it and love Ari as a nickname!

Marty93 · 26/06/2019 17:27

Poncy, posh, frilly. Not my style... sorry!

I like Annabelle though! X
