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.

@SockYarn

It's not a name. HTH.

My thoughts exactly! It's part of a question, not a name.

@SionnachRua You can always count on mumsnet to tell it how it is.

@HolloTalk It's German. A different take on Wilhelmina.

I don’t hate it and it does have a woodland fairy feel to it. However it does have potential issues that I’d rather avoid, if it were my child.

Isabelle is lovely, op

I love Willa and Belle separately but not a fan of Willabelle, sorry!

What about Bellamy?

Oh good God you can't do that to a child. Get a doll if you want to give something such a stupid name.

Awful. Sorry.

Not keen. Sorry. But I've heard a lot worse.

I quite like Willa- have liked it since Brenda named her baby it in the final episode of Six Feet Under- but Willabelle feels a bit made up.

Nooooooooo

If it is German would you pronounce it with a ‘W’?

Where did he get his other name choice from, sounded like catnip to me?

Catniss is the main character from The Hunger Games

Thank you

No way

These threads make me laugh.

Someone could post "what do you think of htfhyvhhdfhhh as a name for my newborn?" Some crazy bugger is going to come back with "oooo! I love it, so unique!!".

Poor kids are going to end up with names like spelling mistakes.

Dreadful. Sounds like a hillbilly name.

first i thought, as a tennis player said, you cannot be serious.
agree with all the others, there's a first, that sounds made-up and ridiculous, and she would be subjected to ridicule.
and we are not in a german speaking country.
so there's no excuse.
plenty of good solid names to pick from. don't try to be too clever.

My lovely friend had the surname Bell and the referencing of ‘ first name Bell-end’ was relentless in high school. For that reason alone no.

I actually prefer Trixiebelle and Im not a massive fan of that.

Shantabelle?

That's really a fucking awful name to saddle someone with.

I’m sorry but I almost threw up when I saw that name then 🤮 very dramatic I know! But it really is awful!

I adore Willa though

I had a cat named Trixiebelle

@mumsiedarlingrevolta

Trixiebelle works well for a cat, I think.
