Thoughts on Arabella?

Hey everyone!

[name_m]Just[/name_m] wondering about what people think of [name_f]Arabella[/name_f]? I have a couple of concerns about the name, and I was hoping to see if anyone else had the same concerns!

It’s on my list. :slight_smile: It’s very romantic and light sounding to me. I prefer it for a middle name since I’m not usually into flowery names and it also doesn’t have a nickname I like. It’s gorgeous though. I also like [name_f]Arabelle[/name_f].

I love [name_f]Arabella[/name_f]! I love the sound, look, and it has a magical, whimsical, sloghtly dark quality to it that I love. Maybe because I first came across it in [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] and then in a show about magic/dark magic set in 18th or 19th [name_f]England[/name_f] I think haha. I don’t really see it as that frilly somehow. My biggest concern is popularity, and the fact I can imagine it becoming a lot more popular in the future. It’s not that bad, just too much for me personally to feel comfortable using it. I don’t see the Arab beginning as an issue, [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] is an amazing name.
