Help[Opinions] Re: Christabelle
in reply to a message by Rachel Shay
I saw your poll and wanted very much to vote positively. But I can't approve of the spelling. Christabel is how the name originated and is the title of a famous poem. Any other spelling looks wrong to my eyes. Also, Christabel Pankhurst is a hero of mine, so it's personal for me.
I think the difference in age between the average voter in the polls versus the average commenter in these threads will account for a different reaction to the name. Most of the voters in the polls are very young and haven't heard of Christabelle (sic) before.

Another Christabel hero of mine . . .
. . . is Christabel Bielenburg ("BEE-len-burg"). She was an English woman married to a German during WWII who hid Jews from the Nazis. Elizabeth Hurley played her life story in a BBC production from the mid-80's that you might like. It is called, simply, "Christabel."

Also, Queen Elizabeth II's aunt was named Alice Christabel. She isn't particularly a hero of mine, but she had a nice name combination.
I'm sad that this name isn't getting a better reception.
