Thoughts on Ariella?

I like the name [name]Ariel[/name], but now I think I prefer [name]Ariella[/name]. And could use [name]Ariel[/name] as a nickname. What are your opinions?

It’s alright- I don’t really like it, but there’s nothing wrong with it. I’d prefer [name]Aurelia[/name] over [name]Ariella[/name].

I like it.

I love [name]Ariella[/name] but only prounounced like ‘arry-ella’. :slight_smile:

As I have a girl in my class named [name]Arielle[/name] (ary-el) and I have to stop and think about it a second every time I say her name because my mind wants to say [name]Ariel[/name] (like the disney princess), I think adding an a at the end on top of that would create unnecessary complication.

It’s pretty.

I prefer [name]Ariel[/name].

I like [name]Ariella[/name]. I think it is a pretty name, but pronunciation may be a problem.

I think it’s really pretty, never thought about using it for myself before but now I’m adding it to my list :slight_smile:

I think it’s a beautiful name, but it sounds pretty close to the word “areola”. (Which would also be a beautiful name, if not for the meaning.) That doesn’t mean you should nix it from your list, but I find it’s good to try and think of the future playground taunts in advance…

It is pretty and not every other child will be named it.

It is pretty, but too princessy and frilly for my taste.

I hope you rethink the name. [name]Do[/name] you know what an areola is? The dark brown part of the breast.

And? The name is [name]Ariella[/name] not areola.

Its ok, but every time I hear it I think Disney [name]Princess[/name]!
Pronunciation may be a problem though.

I love [name]Ariella[/name]!

I think [name]Ariella[/name]'s really pretty! It’s princessy/frilly and a little magical(in my opinion) which I love. I definitely think you could use [name]Ariel[/name] as a nickname if you wanted to. I wouldn’t worry about pronounciation. I know two [name]Ariel[/name]'s who pronounce their names differently. [name]Just[/name] correct someone if they get it wrong and then you shouldn’t have any problems.

I like it. Its very pretty and girly.
