I think it’s kinda cute. A little annoying, but definitely better than a lot of other names.
I like it best as a nickname for
Isabella, but I know an
Isabel who is nn
Bella...
I also know two who are simply
Bella, because their moms wanted to name them exactly what they wanted them called.
Strangely enough, after reading the responses, I realIzed that as far as I know, I have never, ever, met a dog or animal named
Bella!
I think so. Both of my friends that named their girls
Bella (both in different states, and have never met the other) simply liked the name
Bella, and didn’t know anything about Twilight.
(which to be honest, I don’t either. Basically what I know about Twilight, is what people here in BtN have commented about names).
