Very pretty name with an awesome meaning.

Bellona was actually the daughter of Mars (historians aren't sure, but she is the daughter, wife or sister of Mars). Her celebration day is June 3rd.

Is a very beautiful name, however in elementray schools the children may call the child with this name "Bologna".

Oh, I'm torn with this name, it sounds *so* beautiful, but I hate, hate, HATE the meaning. Oh well. Does anyone know of any alternative meanings?

Bella means both beautiful and war in Latin. Or Bella means beautiful and Bellum means war, I think. So you can say it's from the word of beautiful.

I don't think the meaning's awful. You don't have to interpret "to fight" as something negative. One can fight for a dream, for his/her life, for chances. I think it's a strong meaning.

This sounds like bologna.

I have a friend who named her daughter this and spells it Bellana. Pronounced Bell-on-ah. I think it sounds pretty.

Name of the city in "Dhalgren" by Samuel R. Delany. Something happened in Bellona which is never explained, but the city is always on the edge of total destruction. Almost no appliances work, it's mostly abandoned, buildings suddenly burst into flame then are fine the next day. It's completely separate from reality.

Superiority in war was the primary thing that made the Romans great, before even their cultural or architectural achievements. They conquered half the world for a reason. It's hard to imagine that any real person would actually live up to the implications of this name, and it's hard to imagine anyone who would want their daughter growing up to do so. Probably best for fictional people.
