Baby Name Poll Results

Yes vs. No vs. Maybe
I really like the name Arabella. My husband thinks it's a tad too frilly sounding. He wants to shorten it to Arabelle. Do you like this? Or does it sound unfinished?

Arabelle is the French version of the name so it's legitimate finished & complete. I usually prefer " belle" names to "bella" names.
I speak a bit of French and I've never heard of Arabelle. Regardless, I can't say care for it as the ending sounds abrupt (to me).
I would encourage you and your husband to find a name you BOTH love

What about Ariella? That's slightly less frilly yet retains the -la ending. Arabelle does seem incomplete to me.

I like Arabelle but I love Arabella! I love "over-the-top" frilly girl names. However, maybe it would be best to set it aside and try to find a name you both love.
