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.
