what do you think of the name Arabella?

[robinredbreast]

yes it me again lol you lot are putting me off Giselle [think the tought of it being shorted to gis ot jiz is too much

I like Arabella but isn't it shakespearean? There could be some connotations that go with it so probably worth fishing around about the name first. It is nice tho. And classy.

Arabella is nice but if she ends up at a non-posh school she might have the piss taken out of her a little bit.

Haven't gone through the thread yet, but it's my middle name.......and I hate it, I'm sorry. My parents were toying between having it as a middle or a first name, and thank you, thank you that it ended up hidden in the middle where only a select of my closest friends could take the p on a semiregular basis

Don't do it!!!!!

Oh, and Giselle is the name of one of DS2s best friends, and it's a lovely name

Will read the thread now, and see how many people disagree with me!

Is there an Arabella in Shakespeare? Oh lordy, my memory and wits are failing me. Really and truly? Which play?

Don't really like the name myself. Unless it's for a pretty little shetland pony?
