Ariella?

[Festivechristmastree]

We really like this name, thoughts?

Too fairytale and frilly for me.

Straight away it reminded me of the borrowers but that was Arrietty so ignore me.
I'm not sure I like that full name but I like the nicknames that could become of it

Arri
Ella
Ellie

Etc.

I need to do some washing

Nice, quite popular

For those of you saying Ariella is “frilly”, it means lioness of god in Hebrew.
Awesome name.

It’s irrelevant what it means in Hebrew. In English it appears weak and frilly. Too many vowels, too many syllables, and no hard consonants to give it oomph.

Couldn't give a crap, still sounds frilly and fussy to me.

I'm an instant no to any Ella esque names anyway, they're overdone.

I know two toddlers called Ariella. I quite like it.

Nipples.

sounds like something medical. not in a good way. sorry, no.

I feel like Ariella would end up getting a hard time as a tween/teenager in Sex Ed.

Then have to relive it if she ever has to go to breastfeeding support or if she has any medical issues with her breasts, “ah yes Ariella, your right Areola is a bit inflamed and leaking quite an unhealthy looking discharge...”

It’s a bit like one of those names like Melina (Melena) that sounds pretty enough but means “blood in faeces”. Or the old Klamidya/Chlamydia anecdote.

I think it’s a lovely name.

I like Ariel too.

Reminds me of areola

It doesn't appeal to me. For those sort of sounds how about Arabella or Gabriella?

Pretty!
