[Opinions] Ariella
I've recently fallen in love with the name Ariella and I'm curious what others think of it. Is it too frilly, too princessy? Actually, I think it's a bit of those things as well but that's part of the attraction for me. What mns would you suggest? I rather like Ariella Jane because Jane brings the combo back down to earth somewhat. What sort of person do you imagine an Ariella to be?Looking forward to your thoughts. TIA.

Hmmm ... I was wondering if anyone would mention that. I've thought of it before. Since I'm pronouncing the name R-ee-el-a rather than AIR..., I'm hoping to avoid the similarity but I do see where you're coming from because I have negative associations with other names. Take the name Lydia, for example. To me, Lydia rhymes so with Chlamydia, that I just can't get past it.

I like it a lot. I knew a woman named Ariella when I was in college and she was a really awesome person.

I love the name Ariella...my number one fave girls' name! I don't think it's over the top frilly or princessy, though the feminine sound of it is what really makes it appealing to me.As for how I see an Ariella, I picture this adorable little girl I know who is so sweet with long brown hair and brown eyes.Ariella Jane has a nice flow to it, though I'm not fond of Jane. My favorite combos are Ariella Maria, Ariella Jasmine, and Ariella Faith. Some other suggestions:Ariella Elisabeth
Ariella Marie

Thank you for your remarks. I hope you get to use Ariella one day!Re: Jane, it has never been a favorite of mine even though my dh loves it. It just seems to work with Ariella. Of the mns you suggested, I like Ariella Christine, Ariella Grace (though I hate to admit THAT), Ariella Faith and Ariella Maria.

I definitely agree that Jane does work with Ariella. Hopefully I'll get to use it one day :-)

I like Ariella Claire. BTW, I have dds named Katherine and Brooke (Victoria Brooke, actually) so those obviously wouldn't do. ;-)

Ariella is pretty but too frilly for me. I prefer Arielle. BTW Ariella Jane flows nicely.
