Do you think Ariel is a beautiful name?

Question

I am 40 weeks pregnant..and was supposed to be induced today, but the date changed to next Monday! Anyway, my husband and I thought we decided on a name, but it seems no one likes the name! The name for our little girl is supposedly Ariel Michaela.

Do you think Ariel is a beautiful name? Or does it make you cringe? It seems everyone we ask thinks it's hideous...but I love the name for a little girl! Please tell me your opinions.

I don't really like popular names too much (Jessica, Ashley, Madison...you get the idea...)

So if you don't like Ariel and can suggest a beautiful, unique name, that would be great. I guess this re-scheduling of the induction will give us some more time to think about names! And my husband suggested I ask the Yahoo community...LOL

Thanks in advance! Have an awesome day!

Answer 20

I really think it's a beautiful name. I just always associate it with the Little Mermaid...but it's not a bad thing. It's very beautiful, simple (not trendy), and timeless. I'd go for it.  

Answer 21

It's a beautiful name, but here are some other suggestions if you want them

Estelle

Elise

Camilla

Scarlett

Kiera

Noelle

Answer 22

Ariel is adorable!! I love it! The only problem is, if your baby girl is a red-head, strangers may say "Did you name her after the Mermaid?!?" If not, go ahead!!!

Answer 23

Sorry to say it but Ariel will always be the Little Mermaid to me.  Precious name for her!

Answer 24

I don't understand why people think its bad, I LOVE IT!!!

It is very unique, I like that spelling alot too. I don't think Ariel Michaela flows nice. Michaela Ariel sounds much better. Unless Ariel Michaela flows better with your last name :)

Ariella is another opiton too. (AIR-ree-el-uh)

Congrats!!

the first name isn't that bad, although it reminds me of the disney movie. I do not like the middle name. Its your baby and its your choice dont worry about what everyone else thinks

Freya

Rosina (ros-eena)

Hedy

Clementine

Gitana

Inessa (een-essa)

Answer 27

i love Ariel alright, but not michaela...

maybe Ariel Lynn?

hope this helps!

good luck!

Answer 28

i think its a really pretty name, ive had the same problem with ppl giving their negetive opinion when its not wantd. i think its really rude. just tell who ever doesn't like it to shut their word-hole, remember, its your baby!

and i also think there's nothing wrong with ppl associating her with 'the little mermaid' every name has different connotations for different ppl. at least the little mermaid is a classic story and Ariel is beautiful!

Answer 29

I think Ariel is indeed a beautiful name. My favorite girl's names of all time are Eda, Iris, Rebecca, and Jo.

Answer 30

I like the name Ariel.  I'm not a fan of the middle name you have chosen, but that's OK.

Answer 31

I like it! Its beautiful and when she gets older she might like

The Little Mermaid......... Maybe
