honesty needed

**tellytubby** · September 24th, 2009, 09:45 AM

I've posted a couple of times about this name, so sorry! haha, please be patient with me

We have two girls names picked

Arielle Nyah James (Pronounced Ahh-ree-elle)

Eloise Parker James

We want a name that isn't common, but not 'out there' iykwim

DH loves loves loves Arielle, and i love it aswell.
But today i'm thinking its too much of a mouthful.... is it??
DH is telling me i'm crazy and "drunk on pregnancy hormones", hahaha

So please be honest... is Arielle too much of a mouthful? Say it out loud for me 3 times?? is it?

I had a dream last night that it was a girl, and neither name 'suited' her... i think thats where this stress is coming from..

Our DD's name is Kaili (prounounced kay-lee) - don't know if you need to know that, haha

Which name of the two do you prefer??

honesty please ladies!!

I think Arielle is gorgeous and goes well with your DD's name, i said it 5 times just to be sure and i don't think it's a mouthful at all.

You could be onto a winner!

I love Arielle! Nyah is so pretty too!

**{sarah}** · September 24th, 2009, 09:52 AM

Arielle was up the top of our list, we love it

I think it is a mouthful to keep repeating and when I say your other DD name as well (as if you are yelling at them to get inside) its not easy to get mouth around.

Sorry but that's just my opinion (it is a pretty name thought)

I think it's lovely and not too much of a mouthful at all. Not so sure about Nyah though, (I'm having pronunciation confusion).

**Talia*L** · September 24th, 2009, 10:19 AM

Lovely name! So pretty! And not too difficult, I don't think... I suppose people will shorten it to Ari, or Elle?

**YoYo** · September 24th, 2009, 10:23 AM

Nope...I love it....Keep it! It's not a mouthful at all! No more than say.....Madeleine...which is a front runner girls name for me

Love love love Arielle

, and I think it sounds great with your DD's name. Like they "fit" together.

Eloise just dose not seem right to me (sorry- I don't mean to sound rude

) I'm also not sure about Parker as a middle name- not when Nyah is so lovely.

Good Luck with it all.

It's a beautiful name hun and definitely not too much of a mouthful

**Asparagus and Lemons** · September 24th, 2009, 10:42 AM

Arielle is a beautiful name, my cousin named her daughter that and it suits her so well. Eloise is also nice but my choice would definantly be Arielle!

**luna moth** · September 24th, 2009, 10:44 AM

Eloise is a beautiful name, and I love it.

But Arielle is a better choice with Kailli - it just seems to "fit" (thatnks BnS!) I think it's the one.

**Manhattan** · September 24th, 2009, 10:45 AM

I think Arielle is gorgeous, and sounds beautiful with Kailli

**Laranna** · September 24th, 2009, 11:07 AM

Arielle is a lovely name. It's on our list too

**Butterfly Child** · September 24th, 2009, 11:13 AM

I think Arielle is gorgeous hun xx

Thank you so much ladies, i really needed that!
Its a name we've both liked for so long, but that dream last night made me think twice

Feeb - don't be sorry, i asked for honesty! And i really appreciate it

Marydean - Nyah - think of Myer (the department store) but with an "N". Its really the only name we've found that seems to 'flow' well with our last name. If any of you ladies have any other suggestions i'm all ears

Talia - Yep! I think I would shorten it to "Ari". DH doesn't like this idea, he likes the whole name together, haha - but i think Ari is a cute shortened version.
MiniMax - I love Madeleine! But my cousin has a Maddison, who gets called Maddy, and i don't want something too similar - good choice!!
Poopie - Is your cousins daughter pronounced the same aswell??? Does she have problems with people pronouncing it incorrectly??
BethnSarah - don't feel rude for not likeing Eloise, haha - i asked for honesty, and i appreciate your opinion!
BethnSarah, Manhattan & Snugglybean - Thank you for saying Arielle and Kaili "fit" together

Made me smile!
Eluned - Great choice! hahaha. Would you pronounce it the same way? The only thing that worries me slightly is people would call her "air- ree - elle" - but its not concerning enough to turn me off the name.

After all of this, It's probably a boy! hahaha
