My DD's name is 8 letters long and yet strange enough i'm actually a huge fan of short names ... (happened to come across her names years ago & just loved it).
My friend has a Chloe whom is 7 now and there are several Chloe's in her school so don't know if that will be so in a few years to come ... so, i'm going to go with BELLE (though i second Arimeh & i too prefer BELLA)
Hi thank you for your suggestions and input . Will see what DH thinks.
I too prefer Bella to Belle but DH is not too sure on it. I didnt think he would be so fussy. I expected to be able to suggest a name that i loved and him to say ok. Although he doesn't make any suggestions.
What are your thoughts on the name Alexis?
Do you think its normal be put off a name due to its popularity at this time?
Well I love Ella our Ella gets Elle most of the time. My first DD gets Tahli which is short i guess. I prefer Belle over Bella My friends daughters name is Alex, i prefer that a little over Alexis
Goodluck!
Thank you for your thoughts - i like Belle but wonder what people would think of it. DH is ok with it allthough he prefers Ella and i do like it but the fact its so common puts me off. My mum isn't so keen on Ella ( which should not matter)
Hun TBH I think if You Love it DH likes it that's all that matters. As I said B4 DH and I both loved Zane so that was our boys name no if's but's or maybe's and we got sooo many comments like "oh but he'll get Zane's a pain or Zane's insane etc" In my experience I found if people didn't like the name for whatever reason rather than say nothing people will always pick the negatives in a name NO one every said"Oh that's lovely....Zane..destined for Fame" I say if you love it then go with it....IMO I think it's a beautiful name, something that is pretty for a little girl but will be perfect for a woman aswell.
Bronzdbebe - I agree with you that people will pick the negatives ( funny i had actually never thought of that before)- Which is the girls name you are talking about that is perfect for a little girl as well as a woman?
Sorry I was refering to Belle, LOL probably would have helped to write that! It's just really pretty, sounds like the perfect princess name. I love what JordieC said about her friends little girl with Nick names like Tinkerbelle etc....And in Relation to your earlier question about One Tree Hill, it's a TV show, It's not on free to air anymore it's an American show much like The OC,Gossip Girl etc sad I know LOL.
Ella is SOOOO common, at least it is where I live. I like Belle, I think it really pretty and you can still use Bella as a nickname. Chloe is my favourite though.
