The name Willabelle

[Purpledaisychain]

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.

Not my cup of tea, sorry.

From Knobend to Isabelle! What about something in between offensive and already hugely popular? Mirabelle, Amabel, Arabelle, Christobel for eg

@Notredamn

My husband wanted Willabelle. I wanted Isabelle. DH is onboard with Isabelle now too. It is not that popular around where we live and even if it was, it wouldn't matter to us.

Did anyone else just think Bell end? Isabelle is lovely OP x

That's great, then. Was just making some suggestions as the fact you were even considering Willabelle was indicative of you liking more unusual names, that's all.

It's god awful. Don't do it.
Sorry OP.

Willa is nice enough on its own or belle on it's own but I read willabelle as willybell and thought lord no its just sounds wrong 😂 x

Not for me. Mirabel is nice.

NO

I don't think that even a fairytale princess would thank anyone for naming her Willabelle.

Oh thank god you’ve already discarded the notion...

(But please spell it Isobel)

OP as I expect you know, if you Google "willabelle" you come up with an Internet influencer.

Isabelle is lovely. Or any of the many different spellings.
Willa is nice, too.
Many congratulations on forthcoming baby.

Willabellend? Will a bell end what?

I love Willa and Belle but together as a first name they just sound silly. Kind of cute on a toddler but I can’t imagine an adult with this name. Could you use Belle as a middle name?

Oh thank God you've dropped that idea. Poor child being named Willabelle...

It sounds like a character in a novel set in the American south. Probably elderly and/or quirky.

Bonkers

Sorry it's terrible.

@SionnachRua

I never really picked the idea up. This thread was more about gathering ammunition to convince DH it was a bad idea.

Sounds awful
Not keen on Mirabel is a ski resort

Willa or belle but not together
Isabelle
Gabrielle
Annabelle

Although Isabel could also be 'Is a bell really necessary on a bike?', as my Mum used to say! (sorry).

Why not Willow-Belle if you like it. What you said doesn't look nice.

@ILoveFood87

I think willa/willow and I like Belle. Just not together in one name. I'm going to probably play around with first and middle names and see what I come up with that way.

@Purpledaisychain well you certainly got that ammo in spades here

Willa, Willow and Belle are all perfectly good names. Not so much when they're put together!
