Hi. I've posted once before, but this is my first wtf? name post.

I was standing in line at Toys R Us today and the woman in line behind me kept singing to her little girl of maybe 6 or 7 "Bella, Bella, Bella Desirella". The tune sounded familiar, but I was assuming she'd changed the words to her daughter's name.
*so*-- Bella Desirella -- Thoughts? I'm hoping against hope the middle name is Desiree or even perhaps Desirella is the last name, as my brother suggested it might be.




*edit* I have a question and didn't want to post a whole new post. How would any of you feel if a close family member used a name similar to your child's, if your child was deceased? My husband's sister is getting married soon and we were talking baby names. She said Roseline was one of the names they were thinking of. I told her, truthfully, that we liked that name too, but wouldn't/couldn't use it as it was part of our daughter's name-- Brenna Rose (2 name first name, Rose is not her middle name). I don't know if she got the hint. What do you think? Disrespectful? A nice way to honor her memory? I just know it would be hard for me to call her by name or if I heard my MIL use the same nickname as my mother had for my daughter. Sorry if this is the wrong place for this. And I'm a tired.. my posts get odder when I'm tired.

I agree. I understand the wound is raw for the parents, but I don't think that should mean no one close to them should use any Br- name or any Rose name. If the suggested name was Brianna Rosa, I would understand the problem, but as it is Roseline is a very different style and feel from Brenna Rose.
