Bella

Do you think that Bella could be a stand-alone name?

 

If not, what name would you use so that Bella could be a nn? [I know the most common answer would be Isabella/Isabel, but I'm trying to stay away from at least top 20 on popularity lists]

Thanks :)

    A friend of mine named her daughter Bella for her full first name. For an alternate first name to use Bella as a nn, you could also use Anabel/Annabel/Annabelle. I think it's cute and it's not overly popular, eitther.

    I like it as a stand alone name or a nickname for Isabella.

    It can also be a nickname for Annabel/Annabella, Arabel/Arabella, Marabel, Rosabel/Rosabella, etc. If you live in an area with lots of Spanish speakers, it will be pronounced "bay-a."

    Just beware, there are millions of people that are obsessed with the Twilight books, and Bella is the main character. Bella, along with Edward, Cullen, and Esme have been skyrocketing up the charts because of those books.

    It's a stand alone name. I don't care for it because my friend has a dog named Bella so that's what I think of.?

    Bella is nms. It reminds me of Beauty and the Beast. It could be a nickname for Isabel or Isabella, as you suggested, but also Bellissa, Labella, Claribel, Arabella or Elizabeth.
