Bella?

Putting your children through years of humiliation because they have been named after a popular love series is extremely cruel.

On the same token, reading how great Twilight is offends me. But as you said, back on topic. We're all entitled to like what we like and dislike what we like. I do apologize for offending people because I don't like Twilight.

Moving on. Bella is a very cute name, but I love Belle better. There is the most beautiful pure white German Shepard on my street called Belle. She leaves me in awe.

I wasn't going to write in this thread, but after reading your post, I thought I would add something. You said, "...named after a popular love series is extremely cruel." I, personally, reserve such strong words as, 'extremely cruel', to those that beat or inflict any form of neglect/abuse towards their children. I would never say something so harsh over of a name choice!

To the OP: I like the name Bella...it's cute!

I actually considered naming my puppy twins Bella and Edward! I was going to give them the AKC names Sulina's Twilight and Sulina's Breaking Dawn.

I have a foster named Isabella and I think it is just a perfect name for her! Very pretty name imo.

Well everyone has their own thoughts on what is cruel. Life is subjective.

Any way, any other Bella cuties coming out of the woodworks? There's a user here whom's pup is named Bella Blue. I think that is really really cute.

I have noticed a lot of Bellas.

So which one would you be? I don't remember any women much in Jake and the Fat man.

I have a horse I named Bella, yep after Bella Swan from Twilight!
I like the name.

Maddie was a name dh and I could agree on and Cooper already had her name name when she came to us. (Previous owners thought she was a boy.) I wanted to change it to Miley, as in Miley Cyrus.

Not everyone, self included, don't like that fantasy BS. I'm proud to say, I've never watched nor read any of the titles you listed, and never plan to.

And, as far as criticizing over the stupidest things... pot, meet kettle

Your picture shows a very beautiful lady... but your posts don't reflect that. All of your posts are arrogant and condescending and I don't believe it has anything to do with the multitude of languages that you speak. I know plenty of people who speak other languages that don't have this problem. It's about attitude - not the translation of words.

First off your being a bit dramatic with the years of humilation crap
Bella & Edward are common names I could see if the names were Quazimotto and Zena princess warrior, but they are not . I also find it offensive for you to say dumbo things and create hurt feelings. But hey that is JMO also

Oh, come on I was not being serious! I believe in writing, connotation can be lost. I may be a bit arrogant, I am a 2nd year Law Student, so it comes w/the territory (kidding). People take trivial matters, like this, far too seriously

Have a good one
But, PS - your post wasn't very nice, either. I've never, IMO, been malicious in singling someone out to call them 'arrogant' and 'condescending'. Just throwing that out for you to ponder

My little one started out as an Isabella, pronounced E-sa-bella, hard on the E. I was going for a call name of E-sa (in Spanish the I (eye) is pronounced as an E). But when I was playing with her, it went from E-sa! E-sa-bell-a! to just plain ol' Bella to Bella-Boo

But she's not confused ... I think she answers to anything in the general vicinity of her name
