The name Willabelle

What do you think of the name Willabelle for a girl? DH looks quite keen, and while I think that it is pretty and has a bit of a woodland princess feel to it, I'm not sure if it is a good name for a child or if it is better being left for fairytale princesses.

It's not a name. HTH.

HPandTheNeverEndingBedtime · 17/08/2020 16:35

She'll get called Willy don't do it. There are tonnes of similar sounding names, don't chose the one children will take the piss out of as they get older.

Christabelle
Elizabelle
Izabelle
Isabelle
Annabelle
Arabelle

I LOVE Willa and know a gorgeous little girl called Willa who suits her name amazingly

AudTheDeepMinded · 17/08/2020 16:41

Other kids will nickname her 'WillyBelly'. Willa is nice, what about Willa with Belle as a middle name?

Twizbe · 17/08/2020 16:41

Oh no .... no ... no

Disfordarkchocolate · 17/08/2020 16:42

It sounds a cat's name to me, and made up.

Manteo · 17/08/2020 16:42

How about Mirabel?

MrsSchadenfreude · 17/08/2020 16:43

Willybelly. It’s a no from me.

Rossaloony · 17/08/2020 16:44

Ooooh Willa Belle, with Belle as the middle name is lovely

StopGo · 17/08/2020 16:46

It's an old German name, a variant on Wilhelmina.

hellojim · 17/08/2020 16:47

No, it sounds ridiculous

turnthebiglightoff · 17/08/2020 16:47

Hideous. Not a name.

PaundryLouder · 17/08/2020 16:48

...is ridiculous.

PaundryLouder · 17/08/2020 16:49

Also, it makes me think it's an incomplete question e.g.
Will a bell be necessary?
Will a bell be useful?

Mogtheforgetfulmum · 17/08/2020 16:49

She will be called 'willybelly' by the time she reaches secondary school. Teenagers are ruthless.

RumpoleoftheBaileys · 17/08/2020 16:50

Sorry, no

Will a bell - do what exactly?

LirBan · 17/08/2020 16:51

It does sound made up sorry.

I think Willow Christabel with nn willabel would be lovely.

Although I prefer Christabel really. Christabel Willow

Willow Isabel and Willow Annabel don't work because the vowel sounds run shmush unclearly in to each other.

cormorantes · 17/08/2020 16:54

Hmmmm Is it for a boy or girl?

LirBan · 17/08/2020 16:54

@Manteo

How about Mirabel?
I like that. and Maribel

Willow Mirabel and Willow Maribel sound ok

KatherineJaneway · 17/08/2020 16:55

I misread it as Willoughby Blush

Absolutely would not use that name. She would constantly be called 'willy' as a nn. Don't do that to your child.

RaspberryRuff · 17/08/2020 16:55

Willabelle is awful. Far too many L’s

buttcrackmcheese · 17/08/2020 16:56

Got to be a joke!

whatausername · 17/08/2020 16:58

Oh dear me. Best left for fairytales. It's verrrry nicknamey.

allsideways · 17/08/2020 17:04

Willy bellend is too much of a risk

FiddlefigOnTheRoof · 17/08/2020 17:06

Ahahahaa
