Help[Opinions] Re: Bell
in reply to a message by Sinclaire
I like Aminta Bella a LOT better. While I don't like Bella at all (it's the sound a bullfrog makes), Abella looks, to be quite frank, absolutely atrocious. It honestly kind of scares me--I see it and I picture brains (since it's a bit too cerebellum for my tastes). There's something about it that makes me want to get a wooden stake; this name bothers me and I haven't the faintest idea why.
It's one of those that I just react really strongly to, like Anna. I'd advise you to please, please, PLEASE don't use it, but since I'll probably never meet your little girl, my opinion doesn't matter too much. ;)
Why not Aminta Belle? That's lovely. Araminta Belle would be even nicer, or Arabella Somethingorother.

Ditto, I vote Arabella (actually, Isabella or Gabriella...)

I don't care for Arabella or Araminta. They sound overdone to me.
Abella (Uh-BELL-uh) is Assyrian. It means "child".
Funny- the frogs around here must be too small to say "Bella". Most just say "Cree-Cree-Cree-Cree". We have small ones. You should have never told me that. All I can see is frogs now and we're naming her Bell no matter what. Perhaps our frog will be able to say her name.
