[name]Hi[/name] everyone! I finally feel like my baby’s name is in here somewhere I just don’t quite know where yet! Please tell me your fav combo or you can mix and match. Or if you have other suggestions similar to this style I’d love to hear them too!! Ps baby’s last name will be Barnhart.
[name]Arabella[/name] [name]Snow[/name] is my favourite of these combos, then [name]Arabella[/name] [name]Soleil[/name].
I think [name]Cecily[/name] is much softer looking and more classic than [name]Sicily[/name], while maintaining much of the same sound?
I think [name]Soleil[/name] is the sort of word name that gives actual French people hives, but I have a soft spot for it. [name]Soleil[/name], however, doesn’t work with [name]Snow[/name] for me, sun/snow sort of gets too double-barrel word-y for me.
From your list I like [name]Ottilie[/name] [name]Snow[/name]. Fresh and lovely. [name]Love[/name] this. I also like [name]Ottilie[/name] [name]Plum[/name].
[name]Arabella[/name] [name]Snow[/name] is nice, but with so many Bellas running around I’d go with [name]Ottilie[/name].
If [name]Sicily[/name] was [name]Cecily[/name] I would vote [name]Cecily[/name] [name]Arabelle[/name].
I really love [name]Arabella[/name]! All your MN options are lovely for it, but [name]Arabella[/name] [name]Story[/name] is my favorite. And then [name]Arabella[/name] [name]Snow[/name]. I also really like the idea of [name]Arabella[/name] with one of your other FN choices–[name]Arabella[/name] [name]Ottilie[/name], for example, or [name]Arabella[/name] [name]Cecily[/name] (this sp), or [name]Arabella[/name] [name]Romilly[/name] (although that’s a lot of "L"s!).
Is cecily pn [name]Sicily[/name] or Ceecily? I like how it looks but don’t know if people would pn it how I like. Speaking of pronouncing, do you think people would get that soleil is not so-leel? I reserved it for the middle just incase… And does ottilie sound too much like oddly to the average non-nameberry ear? Thanks again for all the help! It’s much appreciated
I think they’d wreck it too… To bad tho Wdyt of [name]Aurora[/name] instead of [name]Aurelia[/name]? I love how [name]Aurelia[/name] looks on paper but it’s hard for me to say. [name]Aurora[/name] can kinda get stuck in your throat a little too. Hopefully the shooting didn’t ruin it? [name]Ottilie[/name] [name]Snow[/name] I’m loving! I’m glad no ones bashing snow so far. I didn’t think it would be so well received! It seems so refreshing and new to me
I like oriana a lot actually. I loved arianna but it’s so darn popular in the Midwest I gave it up. That’s my only reservation w [name]Arabella[/name]. Right now its my fav but I don’t want her to get lost in a sea of bellas. I’m not sure bella is all that popular in my area tho. I’ve only heard of 2 isabellas so maybe I’d be safe. [name]Do[/name] you think oriana will get mistaken for [name]Ariana[/name] or am I putting too much thought into this? My friends all say I’m being overly picky
[name]Arabella[/name] [name]Story[/name] is my absolute favorite, followed closely by [name]Arabella[/name] [name]Snow[/name]. So, so gorgeous! Romantic, whimsical, stunning combos
Romantic whimsical and stunning was EXACTLY what I was going for!! I’m so excited everyone loves the [name]Arabella[/name] combos! [name]Snow[/name] is my fav mn but story is my close second so that will be tough. [name]Do[/name] you think [name]Arabella[/name] Barnhart sounds ok together? Is it inevitable that her friends will call her [name]Bella[/name]? I’d prefer [name]Elle[/name] [name]Ella[/name] or [name]Ara[/name]/[name]Aria[/name]. Maybe I can’t control that…
[name]Romilly[/name] [name]Arabelle[/name], for sure.
I don’t like the sound of ‘snow’, and I can’t stand ‘soleil’ used as a name. [name]Romilly[/name] [name]Arabelle[/name] is pretty and sturdy. I like that!
I think [name]Arabella[/name] [name]Snow[/name] is beautiful! And I think it would be kind of nice to have a ‘[name]Bella[/name]’ name other than the ever popular [name]Isabella[/name].
[name]Snow[/name] and [name]Story[/name] are such beautiful middle names! [name]Love[/name] them!
[name]Arabella[/name] [name]Soleil[/name] - A bit too flighty for me. [name]One[/name] or the other is nice enough, but as a combo I think it lacks strength.
[name]Arabella[/name] [name]Snow[/name] - [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Snow[/name]. Balances out [name]Arabella[/name]'s frills nicely. I think [name]Arabelle[/name] [name]Snow[/name] would be even better…have you considered that?
[name]Arabella[/name] [name]Story[/name] - Same as [name]Snow[/name].
[name]Sicily[/name] [name]Snow[/name] - Really cute! I can see how some might find the alliteration off-putting, but I think it’s adorable.
[name]Soleil[/name] [name]Snow[/name] - Again, love [name]Snow[/name]–not so keen on soleil.
[name]Romilly[/name] [name]Soleil[/name] - [name]How[/name] do you pronounce [name]Romilly[/name]? Is it [name]RO[/name]-milly? I like it!
[name]Romilly[/name] [name]Snow[/name] - Very nice
[name]Romilly[/name] [name]Arabelle[/name] - I think I’d like it better swapped around – [name]Arabelle[/name] [name]Romilly[/name]. [name]Arabelle[/name] is beautiful!
[name]Ottilie[/name] [name]Snow[/name] - [name]How[/name] do you pronounce [name]Ottilie[/name]? o-[name]TILLY[/name]? OT-illy? I really, really like the second way! Reminds me a bit of [name]Odette[/name], which has always been a favorite of mine.
I ditto the [name]Cecily[/name] suggestion. I think, if you would be comfortable naming your child [name]Sun[/name] or [name]Venus[/name], then [name]Soleil[/name] is fine. I personally wouldn’t go there; hives is about right. Maybe as a middle name though. However, [name]Marie[/name]-[name]Soleil[/name] is a well known children’s music performer. Again, I’d stay away from it.
[name]How[/name] do you feel about names that mean winter/snow/light etc?
[name]Gwyneira[/name] (Welsh, “White; Fair; [name]Snow[/name]”) / [name]Gwen[/name]
[name]Neve[/name] (snowy)
[name]Rowena[/name]
[name]Tala[/name]
[name]Eliora[/name]
[name]Romilly[/name] i pn like a cd rom. Rohm- illy. And ottilie like [name]OTT[/name]-ily. I like both of these a lot but for some reason I can’t shake [name]Arabella[/name]. I like arabelle just as much and think it might age a little better than [name]Arabella[/name] but with the last name Barnhart I think the a separates the B sounds. What do you guys think? And honestly as far as soleil goes I just think it sounds pretty… I’m never around french so I don’t make the sun connection. If it’s weird tho I don’t mind dropping it. I was going off of sound but if she ends up moving to [name]France[/name] I don’t want her to be picked on
[name]Arabella[/name] [name]Story[/name] is very sweet, though you couldn’t go wrong with any of those combos. Ottolie [name]Snow[/name] is gorgous, as is [name]Romilly[/name] [name]Arabelle[/name]. None of the [name]Sicily[/name] combos sound good to me so I can’t choose from that catagory, sorry!
