Baby Names

Bella

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?

Re: Bella

  • I love Twilight but when I hear the name it is NOT the first thing I think of. I think it's a nice name and if you like it go for it!

  • Twilight is one of the first names I think of, but it is still such a pretty name and I love it.

  • Yes I think Twilight, but only because there is so much hype currently over the next film coming out. I personally think it is a very nice name but I have Belle on my wish list of names so I may be biased.

  • 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.

  • No. It makes me think of "beautiful" in Spanish. That better be one good looking kid. 
  • Yes, I do think of Twilight first both with Bella and Esme.

  • As a major fan of the series, Twilight is one of the first things I think of, but this name also makes me think of Beauty and the Beast b/c its so close to Princess Belle's name. I don't really think Twilight is a bad association, though. It really just all depends on how much you love or hate the series, I think.

  • 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?

  • I think it's too a lot of things. Twilight being one of them.

  • "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!

  • I love twilight, but its not the first thing I would think of when hearing it. Arabella is on our name list!

  • Twilight is not the first thing I think of, but it is my dog's name and I know at least 4 other dogs names Bella, so that is what I think of first.  Sorry.  It is a beautiful name though, which is why I picked it for my first born, my dog! :-)
