WDYT of Sybella?

Hey!

WDYT of [name]Sybella[/name]? [name]Do[/name] you see it as a bastardized, tryndee version of [name]Isabella[/name]? Or a legitimate name? Would a [name]Sybella[/name] go through life saying ‘no, not [name]Isabella[/name]’…?

I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Sybilla[/name] but I know I won’t get it past my husband. He likes [name]Isabel[/name] and [name]Serena[/name] so I think I have a chance with [name]Sybella[/name]. I think the nn Sybbie is adorable!

I adore [name]Sybella[/name]! I also like [name]Sibylla[/name] and [name]Sibyl[/name]. [name]Sibby[/name] is a cute nickname. :slight_smile:

I much prefer [name]Sybilla[/name]/[name]Sibylla[/name]; [name]Sybella[/name] seems a bit “off” at first glance, but [name]Sybella[/name] is also beautiful and powerful-sounding in her own right.

[name]Sybil[/name] is better IMHO.

I love it!

I like it…it doesn’t sound like a trendy version of [name]Isabella[/name] to me, it just sounds like a more frilly version of [name]Sybil[/name].

My first thought was [name]Sybil[/name] too. [name]Sybella[/name] is cute and interesting, I like it.

[name]Sybella[/name] is the name of a character in a book I’m reading. At first I wasn’t too sure about it (probably because I’d never heard of it before), but it’s actually sort of grown on me. I think it’s an interesting and rather unique sounding name. If you like it, go for it!

What middle name were you thinking of pairing it with?

I think it’s lovely.

Thank you for the feedback! I’m so happy that it was positive :slight_smile:

I love [name]Sybilla[/name] but I think [name]Sybella[/name] is more of a realistic compromise name for us! We’re not TTC yet so middle names, and actual names, are all a bit hypothetical! [name]Sybella[/name] [name]Mary[/name], [name]Sybella[/name] [name]Mae[/name] and [name]Sybella[/name] [name]Eve[/name] all have family significance!

My friend’s mum is called [name]Sybella[/name] and I think it’s a beautiful name. She does have problems with it being so unusual and it’s often mistaken for [name]Isabella[/name], but that’s nothing a little correcting doesn’t fix.

[name]Sybella[/name] is lovely. If I were to pick, I will go with [name]Sybil[/name] but [name]Sybella[/name] is beautiful too, unusual but familiar in one.

I hate to go against the grain here, but I don’t care for it. I haven’t heard it before so it does sound like a hybrid, “made-up” name to me. Also, the sound of it makes me think of Rubella, the virus that causes measles.

I love [name]Sybella[/name]! [name]Sybilla[/name] is ok, but I just can’t get past the “bill” sound–[name]Sybella[/name] is much more elegant, [name]IMO[/name]. The only downside is the multitude of little Isabellas and Bellas running around. [name]Sybil[/name] and Sybbie are better nickname options.

I think it might get confused with [name]Isabella[/name] but I’m not sure how often this would really happen. I think of it as a legitimate name. I saw it once on an old gravestone in a mid to late 19th century cemetery and thought it was a very pretty name.

I don’t like the sound of it as well as I like [name]Sibyl[/name].

I like it, just not as much as [name]Sybil[/name]. I know it’s a legitimate name, so I don’t see it as a bastardization of [name]Isabella[/name], but people might be confused at first.
I think that if you love it and your husband agrees, than use it. [name]Sibby[/name] is a cute nickname.

[name]Sybilla[/name] or [name]Sybella[/name] there is no difference. It is a lovely name!

I think [name]Sybella[/name] is okay. It’s not ridiculously weird or hugely popular. It would definitely depend on what her middle name would be.
