Both lovely names, but i don't much like the "m" sound. It seems a little hard to me. I much prefer vowelsounds, or the more "light" consonants... N,L,C etc.
I made the Belladonna connection as well, which is one reason we decided to go with the full name Arabella rather than just Bella.
Hubby and I both love Ariella, but vetoed it when several people we mentioned it to made "little mermaid" jokes. The fact that we considered Aurora as well didn't help with the " Disney princess" remarks.
We do plan on at least one more child, so the problem of the "a" names make sense... I don't want to feel limited in naming our next child.
I love Samantha, but HATE the idea of my daughter being called Sam, and I think that's a bit inevitable with that name, lol.
Love Victoria but dislike Vicky, and my brothers name happens to be victor, so that might be odd.
Love Adrienne, bu we are nickname people, and the only option there seems to be Addie, and that seems a bit much considering we call our other daughter Allie, lol.

Love Katelyn, but sadly, a very close friend used it for her daughter, and I wouldntfeel right about it
