What are your opinions on this name? Do you love it or Hate it? I think it’s beautiful but I would love to hear your thoughts.

It's ok but I think it's quite middle class 'posh'.

Not anymore...

I studied Jude the Obscure and have never been keen since.

The Arabella in 'Jude' was called Abby for short if I recall, which also makes sense, so you're not restricted to Bella for a diminutive. She was also a butcher's daughter, so not posh!

I do quite like it, it's pretty and a little different, although I overall prefer the sound of Annabel or Isabel/la (but there are so many of these around).
