Ariella

It's teetering on frilly but I kind of like it.

I love it! Better than Ariel which is originally a boy's name and I prefer it for boys.
Ariella has such a perfect sounding and the meaning is great! It sounds like a warrior who's kind and soft but brave like a lioness.

I love this name! It is one of my favorite names and is one of the most beautiful I've ever heard! I just recently discovered this on this website and I absolutely adore it! Pronounced are e el uh. Would use Ari and/or Ella as a nickname.

A less common alternative to "Ariana" and works well with most last names. It's a little long, but it is good to have a name a little girl can grow into.

Pretty! Would use it!

Gorgeous.

This is so much better than Ariel! (although I do like Ariel) The ella instead of just el makes it so much more complete!

Pretty! Favorite variant of Ariel, and a less common alternative to Ariana.

I liked this name too, but it was shot down by several family members.

I really like this name because it sounds feminine and princessy and I love how you can use the nickname “Ari.” But someone said it looks like areola and now it’s kind of ruined for me. Ugh I wish I could unsee it now.

I love this name, but preferably spelt Ariela. I'm just really not a big double l person. It's great with the nicknames Ari and Chela. Beautiful name!

My name is Ariella, and I like it very much. I am glad my parents named me Ariella. I think it is unique in a way to me. If you are expecting a girl, I think you should name her Ariella, it means lion of god and I think that is very empowering.

Beautiful name.

I came across this name when my wife was pregnant and felt the beauty portrayed by the name. When my baby girl was born she was a beautiful and ever smiling princess. I'm in love with this name and it makes love my daughter more.

I love this name since it sounds like my name only my name is 'Arela'. My parents invented it combining their names and somewhere I read that this name means 'god's golden angel'. The nicknames my friends and family gave me are 'Ary' and 'Lela'.

I prefer Ariel. This variant sounds too similar to "areola" for me to appreciate. Sorry.

I agree the pronunciation of this name has no flaws. I named my daughter Aryela, but it is pronounced identically. We could've used Ella as a short name, however I loved the rarity of Ary instead. I invented her name using my middle name, then searched similar spelling. When I saw the Hebrew meaning "lioness of God" I knew it was exactly right for her. Thank you.

This is my name and I really like it. I have only met a couple others who share this name, and I love how rare and exotic it sounds. Don't be afraid to choose this name! It's very unique and, contrary to popular belief, I hardly ever need to correct people's pronunciation.

This was my absolute favorite name for a long time, and I still really like it. It rolls off the tongue very nicely, and "Ella" is a good nickname.

Ariella is little too frilly for me. I prefer Arielle, though for a girl both names are better than Ariel (which sounds masculine).

Ariella is very melodic. This might be a bit of a hyperbole, but I think that Ariella might be one of the most beautiful names in the world.

I think this name is quite a beautiful name; very feminine but very strong at the same time, so I think an all-round good name, and it should be used more often. :)

This name is uncommonly beautiful. There are no harsh sounds to it.

I agree! I was looking around for character names when I came across this one. I had never heard of it! Anyway, it's UNBELIEVABLY cool so you should definitely name your kid this. If she is girl! Good luck.

This name may be a little strange but it is absolutely beautiful! I think it is very serene and unique. I'm defiantly going to name my daughter Ariella! It not only sounds like a princess but I cannot imagine an ugly girl being named Ariella. I'm glad I found this name!
