[Opinions] I choose Belle
in reply to a message by Lily
My first thought is always Beauty and the Beast. My second thought is of a bell. The the term belle of the ball always pops into my head. And then my partners sister's nn which is Ceili Belle. Then I think of bell shaped flowers.
I think there are a lot of Bella's and not many Belle's. I like the spelling Isabel but I am not as fond of Isabelle. I've never been very fond of Annabelle or Annabella, though I prefer Annabel / Annabelle. Isabella and Bella is too common in my opinion. Bell reminds me too much of bells. Belle is short and sweet. I have no negative associations so I would go with Belle out of these. Plus I love the sound of bells. They are so pretty, I would love to learn to play the bells and be in a bell choir.
