Claribel, your thoughts on the name?

[Unknown20199]

Hello lovelies,

I’m 18 weeks pregnant with my second, and it’s a girl. 🥰

My first daughter name is Roselina.
Now, for this one I’ve liked Claribel, what are your thoughts? Or any suggests are welcome.

Isn't it usually spelled Clarabel ?

Either way, my mind went straight to the carriages on Thomas the Tank Engine. I'd automatically be asking where Annie was.

Moo. Friends with Daisy and Frieda.

In my mind Clarabel is a cow, an actual cow not an unpleasant person.
Clara-Jayne maybe

Claribel sounds like some sort of prescription medication, sorry.

Clarabel follows Annie and Thomas.

Sorry. Sounds like a cow name.

Moo here too I’m afraid OP.
A lovely doe-eyed Jersey moo but still probably not what you were hoping for.

It’s usually spelt Clarabel. It’s ok. I prefer Christabel, it has more history as a name.

Cassia, Cassandra, Camilla..

I very rarely ‘see’ anything in names, even unusual ones, but Claribel screams Babybel to me. So I wouldn’t.

This is why it’s good to post on here, and get peoples opinions.

I sound dull but I have never watched Thomas.
Thank you for your feedback, appreciative! ☺️

I prefer Christabel which had the same feel but no Thomas connotations! A traditional but unusual name - Emmeline Pankhurst's daughter was called Christabel.

No to Claribel/Clarabel for all the reasons above.

Christabel is a great suggestion.

How about Mirabel?

Sorry, sounds like the Aldi version of Babybel.

Definitely an association with Thomas the Tank for me too. I wasn't a fan as a kid myself, and I have 2 DDs who weren't fans either, but my mind still goes straight to the train carriage.

Came to suggest gorgeous Christabel, see others got there first. Such a lovely name.

In the midlands Claribel is a bus company.
There’s also claribel the cow on disney

The only Clarabel (spelt like that) I have ever heard of was the carriage on Thomas the Tank Engine.

I like Claribel!

Spelled with an "i"; it's different/unusual and pretty.

Thomas the tank!
Or poss a cow's name..
I'd go for something else

Reminds me of carobel, sorry.

My DD1 is Claire and we call her Clara-bow as a nickname. Knew of another Claire who got Clarabelle and she was lovely.
You could name her Claire/Clare/Clair and go with a nickname?

Mooo

Sorry, sounds like the Aldi version of Babybel.

Oh yes, this! Sweet name, but it has dairy and medication connotations.

How about Anna-Clara or Clarissa? Christabel is a good suggestion, and here in Australia the spelling Chrystobel was used in the 19th century, if you want some great-granny chic.

I like Roselina -- wasn't she Romeo's big crush before he met Juliet?

no, sorry we had a cow by that name, she did come when called tho.

Christabel is lovely.
