It's very pretty though a bit frilly and cutesy. Mira Bella or Mira "Mirabella" would be nicer. Elizabeth and Katherine are terrific, but I can't stand Hailey or Katelyn.

Mirabella is pretty, if a little overdone. Mirabelle Elizabeth would've been fine, but I think Mirabella Elizabeth Katelyn is a bit too much. And it would kill me to have sibs with basically the same mns (Katelyn and Katherine). Hailey and Mirabella seem very...different from each other, style-wise. I think I personally would've gone with something like Mahalia Katherine, nn Halie and Mirabelle Elizabeth. All that being said, these combos are MUCH better than a lot I've seen. :o) They're both pretty and feminine, and not overly tryndee.

I love Mirabella.. classy and uncommon, undeniably feminine. But I do not think it "fits" well with Hailey, IMO.

Mirabella is pretty, but it sounds kind of forced to me. I prefer the simpler Mirabelle.Personally, I could never use it. I'd always mess it up and call the poor child Mirabelli, which isn't atrocious, but it's the LN of a Red Sox catcher, so it's kind of stuck in my head. :)

Mirabella's very prettyThe others are, sadly, total yawners, imho, sorry; the combo is still nice, it's just that Elizabeth and Katelyn (especially Katelyn) don't do Mirabella justice in terms of matching its rarity and majesty.I like Mirabella a lot, but Mireille just a squidgy tad more.:-)

Mirabella Elizabeth Katelyn - I don't particularly like Elizabeth, but I LOVE that spelling of Katelyn, I don't like Kaitlyn / Caitlin ect. Mirabella is a bit strange. I like the -Bella names Isabella, Arabella, and Annabella.Hailey Katherine - I love that spelling of Hailey, I like it better than Haylie / Haley / Hayley ect. I like Katherine spelled Catherine though.
It's a bit weird that one kid has Katelyn as a mn and the other has Katherine... but overall I think those names are cute.Edit- I probably would have done
Annabella Elisabeth Katelyn and
Hailey Catherine :]
