I always like the name "Bella" and it was always a contender on my girl list when I was pregnant with my first 2.......now that almost 4 years have passed I still have it on my "Name Game" list or wishful thinking baby name list! Ok, so cutting to the case is Bella too Twilight? I never read the books but I have seen the 1st one on tv. Does Bella make you go straight to thinking Twilight?

Do I go straight to Twilight? Yes. And, no, I'm not "into" Twlight.
But who cares? It's a beautiful, classic name and I certainly haven't ruled it out because it was used in a silly book.

I'm a fan of the books and I don't think of the series first. Isabella was the #1 girl's name in the country last year, so there are going to be a ton of Bellas running around.
Belle is on my love-but-won't-use list because of the popularity of Bella and because bell is a noun.
Esme is my #1 name that I'm totally in love with and I would use it in a second if I could get DH on board. It may be popular now, but in 4-5 years the Twilight hype will be gone so it's not like the association is going to follow her into her school years, kwim?
"BFab11 - Belle is on my love-but-won't-use list because of the popularity of Bella and because bell is a noun."
I think you are right! I may have to make a "love-but-wont-use name list! For now this name will stay in limbo! Thanks 4 all the input!
