Names

[ky-whitney.livejournal.com]

We have decided on "Rohen" for a boy and "Arabella" for a girl.

No, Rohen isn't Rohan from Lord of the Rings. Nor it is "Rowan". It's Ro-hen. A strong H sound.

Arabella is, what it is.

I knew a Rohin once, and never really thought it was strange. I would think that Rohen would be misspelled a lot, though. Arabella is lovely, but I'd be wary of the thousand million other "Bellas" being born these days.

And I hate Bella or Belle as a nickname. Hmmm, I am going to have to think.

I think that's just sort of the natural nickname for Arabella. And there are a TON of Ella/Bella/Stella names circulating at present, so even if your Arabella didn't want to be a Bella, she'll probably get it anyway. It's too bad, I think, because it's such a lovely name.

I guess there's Ari, but then you've got the Ariels and Ariannas etc to share it with.
