I met an Elizabella today!...

While my hubby and I were shopping today we met a woman and her daughter named [name_f]Elizabella[/name_f]. Pronounced like [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] but with [name_f]Bella[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Beth[/name_f]. She was a beautiful little girl about 2 1/2… I was just wondering about your thoughts on this name. I’ve heard of it before but this was the first [name_f]Elizabella[/name_f] I’ve met in person. I think it’s beautiful but I would worry people would think you were trying to be “cr8tyvee” and smoosh two popular names together. What do you berries think?

Honestly I think it’s horrible. I like [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and I like [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] but I hate smooshing. Sorry

I agree with smooshing…I thinks it’s pretty but too much at the same time. I think as she gets older she will constantly be saying "it’s [name_f]Elizabella[/name_f], not [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]/[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f].

I like it, actually. I prefer Elisabella (it looks softer and more Italian. Also less likely to be said like [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]-[name_f]Bella[/name_f]…), but I’ve always thought [name_f]Elizabella[/name_f] (also, [name_f]Elisabetta[/name_f]!) was lovely.

It does sound pretty to me. Though a bit odd because [name_f]Isabella[/name_f] is a variant of [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]. I made up Louisabella for a character once, her mother picked it in honour of a brother [name_u]Lou[/name_u] and sister [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]. I still like the sound, but think it’s a bit too much to use!

[name_u]Ash[/name_u]- I love [name_f]Elisabetta[/name_f] too! One of my favourite [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] variants in general.

I’m fairly sure it’s a legitimate name, not just a smush.

I prefer [name_f]Elizabetta[/name_f] though.

[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabella[/name_f]. It’s so pretty and unusual and it’s real name, so why not.

I can see the appeal, but much, much too frilly for my liking. I felt the same way when I met an Adorabella recently!

I love [name_f]Elizabella[/name_f]. I suspect that when she’s older, she’ll go by a nickname as the whole name is a mouthful. It’s probably the only [name_f]Bella[/name_f] name I actually like.

I’m sure she’ll go by a nn when she is older too. I do like this name…and after some research I’ve learned it is a legit name, not a smoosh as I thought before. It’s a very old name, just obscure. I’m sure it will rise in popularity as all the [name_f]Bella[/name_f] names have.

On what site is [name_f]Elizabella[/name_f] legit?

All [name_f]Elizabella[/name_f] is to me is a name smoosh of [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] and [name_f]Isabella[/name_f], which is weird since both names have the same meaning.
