Ariella?

[Festivechristmastree]

We really like this name, thoughts?

Pretty, feminine.

If we'd had girls not boys one of our twins would have been Ariella

It's OK.

It's very pretty but too frilly for me.

Ariel washing powder or the little mermaid...
Gabriella?

I think I like Arielle or Aria more

I think it's pretty and feminine but I also think it's ok...as partyatthepalace says

It's a fairy inspired name.

Bit nothing-y I think.... I think there are lovely long feminine names with more strength and history -

Random egs - Isabella, Rosaria, Alexandra, Arabella, Sophia, Theodora, Serena, Diana, Aurelia, Seraphina etc

Ariella just sounds kinda made up.

Very frilly.

Bit frilly for me, like Aurora, Ilaria, Amelia etc.

Reminds me of areola

It's lovely.

Well, if you both really like it, why do you need other thoughts?

I think it's pretty

I'm not keen, it's too frilly and also sounds a bit like areola.

I prefer Arielle.

I like it but mainly because I love Arietty and it sounds a bit like that.

I much prefer the similar Aurelia, Arabella or even Ariana - they feel more classic, but Ariella isn't horrible.

It’s a bit frilly?

Yeah. Areola, sorry

I like it - it’s Hebrew so has strong Jewish connotations.

I like it. Unusual but normal and pretty.

Sorry, it makes me think of nipples. Areola.

I’m not keen. Too many soft sounds for me.

There’s one in my daughter’s class, along with 6 other girls starting and ending in A so those sorts of names are quite popular. It’s also the name of a wart medicine so I wouldn’t use it.

I like it but prefer Arielle. There are lots of a ending names and it makes it sound just a bit too frilly for me.
