Beeelllaa!
My boyfriend's Italian, and a very proud one at that, so I wanted to give her a little italian name, but not too Italian... And I thought Bella was cute, BEAUTIFUL! :o) We were thinkin' Abbie for a while because we'd read that it's best to give your dog a name ending in "ie" or "y" because you wind up shortening a name to a "ie" or "y" and then they have 2 names and it confuses them. But Abbie just didn't fit her.. Then he wanted to name her Rudy... like from the cosby show, I said no, it sounded like a boy name haha... SO we went back to BELLA!
