Help[Opinions] Re: Christabelle
in reply to a message by Lily
Definitely Christabel. It's crisp sounding and retro/nostalgic.
The Christabel spelling has a literary connection. So to add the additional "-le" on the end mystifies me. It looks so fussy and *wrong." Plus, Christabel Bielenberg hid Jews in WWII Germany. [Elizabeth Hurley played her in a BBC drama if you're interested in seeing it.] And Christabel Pankhurst and her family worked and fought for female suffrage. Sylvia / Sylvie Christabel is my go-to combo because of the Pankhurst sisters. (I feel guilty about that because they didn't get along well as they got older. But I still love the combo.)
I have no associations with any Christabelles. So that spelling is a no-go for me.
