Arabella Name Puns

Okay so I posted yesterday with my baby girl name idea of ‘Eunice’ and you all let me know your honest opinions which mostly consisted of being against the name. Thank you for your honesty!

My main motivation for the name Eunice is that it was my grandmothers name. The other name I had been considering that I actually like more as a name itself is Arabella.

Thoughts on the name Arabella? Would Bella be her only possible nick name?

Just want to know peoples opinions out of curiosity and if I were to ever hypothetically have a kid, I would choose one of the bella variety names. Obviously there's an endless amount but just going over some of the most popular ones I can think of:

(Top being the best)

• Bella
• Isabella
• Annabella
• Sabella
• Mirabella
• Elizabella
• Ysabella

Where would you rank Arabella out of those and what would your list be like for all the bellas including Arabella? Thanks!

so my sister is expecting triplets; 2 boys 1 girl. we have already decided Josiah Reign and Alexander Grey for both boys however, we are stuck in between Ophelia and Arabella. also, we can’t find middle names for them as we’re trying to avoid the cliche “grace” “marie”. we really like Rae but rae is my middle name so it’s a little funky. any suggestions? also, is arabella or ophelia nicer?

Hi Namenerds! You guys helped me name my daughter, Arabella. We’re starting to think of number 2 and I’m struggling to find names that go with Arabella without being “too much” or being too plain in comparison (I recognize Arabella is very frilly!)

My current favourites are:

• Beatrix and Seraphina for a girl
• Harrison and Owen for a boy

I LOVE Fitzwilliam but think it’s probably a bit much for a first name!

Thanks!

Hello!

I'm due in July and we will be naming our baby girl Arabella Sky.

I always thought it was a wee bit uncommon as a name, but out of curiosity my husband and I looked up its popularity where it said it was roughly 170ish (I cant remember the exact numbers now). I thought this was really high up there, so I compared it to my not totally uncommon name (Danielle) which was placed around 350.

Is Arabella really that common?

Also, if I need a sanity check and Arabella is a terrible name, please tell me now and not in july. :p

I’m thinking about naming my future daughter Arabella, since it rings pretty nicely. It kinda has the mysterious mystic vibe to it which is cool but but idk.

Btw I’m still 17 and probably won’t have kids for a long time lol, am just wondering I know I’m kinda weird like that ha2.

I am currently 24 weeks pregnant with my first child - my beautiful daughter is due on December 20th, 2020 😍

My husband and I struggled with picking a name. To be completely honest we were both really hoping for a boy. My husband has a daughter and we really wanted to have the balance of a boy - I'm not particularly fond of all the girly girly, fairy princess, cutesy tootsie crap. My stepdaughter is VERY girly, and while I consider myself very feminine, I don't buy into the gender tropes that were thrust on her at a young age that she's completely absorbed. She's a wonderful girl, do not get me wrong. I'm just kinda "over" the whole "I'm a pretty princess look at me!" stuff, so I was really heartbroken when we found out at 10 weeks that we were having a girl.

I started watching this show when it aired on HBO, and like many of you, I was floored. Michaela Coel is stellar and it has sparked so many rich, meaningful conversations. THIS is what media is about. The name Arabella also stuck out to me. The nickname "Bella" stays true to its meaning - it's very beautiful. And this show has really encapsulated so many of the complicated feelings that I have about gender... My distaste for "girly" stuff is very complicated in itself, if I really examine it I think it's tied into feelings of self loathing and internalized misogyny. This show, and having a baby girl, are really forcing me to examine this part of myself. I have done more than come to terms with having a daughter instead of a son - I'm excited about it. I think about my life in 20 years, being able to watch my daughter experience her 20s, and live through some of the same emotions and experiences that I have... It's just a gift. Something I wouldn't necessarily be able to share with a son. I'm so grateful for my daughter, and to this show, for helping me get there. What better way to pay homage to I May Destroy You than by naming my daughter.... Arabella.

❤️

(Preface: Not a parent. Just a name nerd.) I have 69 favorite names for girls. I’m looking for help on narrowing this list down to only the “best” names. Essentially, I’m asking y’all to comment which names you believe are the Top Ten on my list. Names listed below. Thanks in advance!

Alice, Annabel, Annabeth, Annalise, Arabella, Aurora, Ava, Beatrice, Beth, Bethany, Blossom, Caroline, Cecilia, Christabel, Clara, Clarissa, Cora, Cordelia, Dahlia, Dana, Daphne, Delaney, Diana, Dorothy, Eleanor, Eliana, Elissa, Elisabeth, Eliza, Eloise, Emma, Erica, Flora, Florence, Frances, Gemma, Heather, Isabelle, Jane, Joanna, Julia, June, Laura, Lillian, Lisa, Louisa, Lucy, Lydia, Maeve, Margot, Mariah, Marianne, Marina, Matilda, Millie, Nellie, Phoebe, Rosalie, Samantha, Sarah, Sophia, Susannah, Sylvia, Tabitha, Veronica, Violet, Virginia, Vivienne, Winifred

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Please help with perception of these names that I’ve mostly only read in books/online, and choose your top 1 or 2 and your bottom 1 or 2 names from my list! The only thing I don’t care about is if the name is popular or not, it doesn’t bother me if the name is trending

In Canada for any reference, it’s a plus if it sounds good with an English and French accent

• Eleanor / Eleanora
• Camille/Camilla
• Everly
• Evelyn
• Eloise
• Elodie
• Genevieve
• Audrey
• Adele
• Clementine
• Adeline
• Matilda
• Winnie
• Soleil
• Lucille
• Ophelia
• Josephine
• Florence
• Rosalie
• Arabella
• Mallory
• Cordelia n
• Marigold/Goldie
• Leonora
• Lenore
• Daphne
• Wilma
• Violet
• Nora
• Rosie
• Celine
• Rosemary
• Claire

Edit - thank you SO much for everyone’s responses! I really appreciate it

I posted on here a few weeks ago to help get ideas for my third girl! Everyone was very helpful and I’ve come up with a list of 10 first and middle names combos. My husband ideally wants a good meaning in a name. Our taste is feminine, elegant, pretty names for girls. So the names I picked have both sound and meaning in mind. I don’t want anything too popular but nothing obscure wither. We might go into the hospital with a few choices and see what suits her but 10 names is a lot as a short list so I’m looking for public opinion. Sibset is also listed. My list, in no particular order:

Celina Rosalie D Milena, Lorelai & Celina

Katia Esme D Milena, Lorelai & Katia

Serena Felicity D Milena, Lorelai & Serena

Arabella Jolene D - honour Jocelyn Milena, Lorelai & Arabella

Avielle Calah D - honour Caleb, pronounced Cay-la Milena, Lorelai & Avielle

Calista Elise D Milena, Lorelai & Calista

Carina Amabel D Milena, Lorelai & Carina

Amalia Juliet D Milena, Lorelai & Amalia

Arielle Valentina D Milena, Lorelai & Arielle

Gabrielle Luisa D Milena, Lorelai & Gabrielle

You know the rules. There are 19 siblings (10 girls and 9 boys) and all names start with the same letter. So let's take a new level: you will have to name not only 19 children but also 20 grandchildren with the same initials as Duggars grandchildren to make this task easier i'll put them there.

1. 7 children. Four girls and 3 boys. All names start with M.
2. One child. Girl. Name starts with G.
3. Two children. Both boys. Names start with I and S
4. Four children. Two boys and two girls. Initials are S, H, I and F
5. Two children. Both girls. Initials are F and E.
6. Three children. Boy and two girls. Initials are G, A and B
7. One child. Girl. Name starts with B.
8. Two children. Boy and girl. Initials are G and E.

Here is my variant:

1. Arthur

   1. Magdalene (Lena)

   2. Marius (Marty)

   3. Maximilian (Max)

   4. Matilda (Tilda)

   5. Miles (Milo)

   6. Mabel (Belle)

   7. Millicent (Millie)

2. Alethea (fraternal twins with Albert)

3. Albert (fraternal twins with Alethea)

   1. Genevieve

4. Amaryllis

   1. Inigo

   2. Sebastian

5. Adelaide

   1. Sacheverell (Sacha)

   2. Hugo

   3. Imogen

   4. Florence

6. Arabella

   1. Fiona

   1.Gerald

   2.Alice

   3.Beatrice

8. Adrian

9. Anais

   1. Gabriel

   2. Eloise

10. Archibald (twins with Alfred)

13. Auberon

14. Augustine

15. Ambrose

16. Aurora

17. Athena

well their discography so far,

from the debut (love the album but the name is hell to type and the acronym doesn't help)-Fake Tales From San Fransisco-I Bet That You Look Good On The Dancefloor-When The Sun Goes Down-A Certain Romance (or Mardy Bum any would work)

from Favourite Worst Nightmare-Brianstorm-Fluorescent Adolescent-505-Do Me A Favour

from Humbug (forgive me If i don't do this justice, I have listened to Humbug the least amount of times out of all the albums)-Crying Lightning-Dangerous Animals-Pretty Visitors-Cornerstone

from Suck It And See-Black Treacle-Piledriver Waltz-Don't Sit Down Because I Moved Your Chair-Suck It And See (I really like Love Is A Laserquest though)

from TBH+C-Star Treatment -Four Out Of Five (I love American Sports too)-Batphone-The Ultracheese

Anyway, thanks for making it all the way down here, I probably forgot some stuff and I am pretty sure most of this is up for debate so I look forward to seeing that (might make edits too!) I've been lurking and commenting in this Sub a lot so I'd really like to contribute something that'll start a conversation here, looking forward to what you guys think!

Edit 1: Added Four Out Of Five, I forgot

Do your worst!

We are struggling to fall in love with a girls name for baby #3. Here's my list of babes that I love but also seem to find a reason to not like it quite enough.

Lyra

Ivy - makes me think of soul calibur character

Autumn - my husband says Autumn Bottom

Ava - so overused, but love the simplicity

Evelina - is it too fancy and syllable heavy?

Evelyn - my favorite but I have an old friend whos daughter has that name. We don't talk much.

Maisie - too casual?

Elowen (Winnie?) (Ella) - too different?

Elodie - my mom hates it

Kate - I like it, my husband is reminded of someone else he doesn't like

Sophia - mom says it's pretentious sounding

Aubrey - too close to Addy (Adaline) my other daughter

Arabella - big veto from husband

Emilia - previous frontrunner until we decided it isn't right

Lily - our last name rhymes with Vanelly, too sing songy?

Rosalie - sweet name, husband thinks it's similar to rosely

Isabelle - too common, husband thinks it's too fancy for us

Hazel - I like it fine, nothing exciting

Josephine (Josie) - Josie Grossy? Will I think of Joseph every time?

Violet - makes me think of violent

Avery - husband hates it

Am I overthinking it or is there a magical perfect name out there I'm just not thinking of?

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

I love the names Evelyn, Josephina, Isabella, Arabella, and Emilia. All of these names are pretty common now, and I'd like to stay out of the top 10 names, thus keep getting vetoed by family. Any suggestions on classically beautiful, timeless girls names? I love names that start with vowels and also names that end with "Lynn" "line" and "belle." Open to suggestions!

Heard they've been doing some shady business.
