I love Mirabelle. It's been on my list for a long time now. It's maybe a tad too frilly, but it doesn't bother me with this name. I'd call her Mira for short, but you could also use Belle.

I used to be a staunch advocate of Mirabel instead of Mirabelle, and although I still prefer the trimmer version, I recently realized that I really like Mirabelle, frills and all.

This is a name that has been on my mind a lot lately. I prefer this spelling to others as I would probably be inclined to use the nickname Belle. I think it looks very pretty but when I say it outloud it sounds awkward - for that reason it hasn't made it onto my list but I'd still be pleased to see it on someone else's child. :)

Nice if it were Mirabel. That extra -le on the end does nothing except make it look fake-French and trendi.

Reminds me of this girl in Fire Emblem Awakening. Mirabelle sounds quite cute.

It's far too frilly and princessy, IMO. Mira would be lovely, though.

Too frilly and syrupy-sweet for me, I'm afraid. The paired down it is, the more I like it: Mirabella < Mirabelle < Mirabel < Mira.

It's pretty, but a little too frilly for me. I prefer Mira.

Mirabelle is quite nice and not overly common either.

It's too frilly for me, and that's saying something as I normally like frilly names. Even Mirabel is an improvement, though I'd really love to see Mira on its own.

It's TOO girly, IMO. Very flowery and lacy and sugary. These things are fine in moderation, but Mirabelle pushes it into overkill. Sorry.
