Comments for the name Petronella

I've seen this name used for one of Cinderella's sisters in some versions of the fairy tale, Cinderella.

Yes, this is the name of one of Cinderella's evil step sisters in the Swedish version of Disney's Cinderella. That has put me off this name, I hated Petronella with a passion growing up. ;)

This was the name of the younger sister of Eleanor of Aquitane.

Pella and Nella are nice nicknames.

Petronella is a character in Malcom Saville's Lone Pine Club. She is David's girlfriend.

Petronella Barker is the name of a Norwegian actress born in London. She has acted in several plays and films for the past 20 years in Scandinavia.

Such an over-the-top, kitschy name.

British journalist and author Petronella Wyatt, born 1969.

The German pronunciation is pe-tro-NE-lah. [noted -ed]

Reminds me of citronella candles.

In The Netherlands Petronella is more a baptismal name than a given name.

This name is alright, really, when I think about it, but it does sound a bit overly-feminine, and just a bit flouncy, but Nella is an ok nickname. I suppose. :)
