I dont care for the names Carlisle or Esme but I understand wanting to keep the names of family in her choice. I actually think Carli is better then Renesmee!! I would have prefered her name be Carli Renesmee Cullen, its cuter. Anyway, my daughters name is Kalila, so you know I like unique names. If I tried to combine the family names it would have been something more like, Alissa Rose (Alice and Rosalie), or Allie (Alice and Rosalie), Carli (Charlie and Carlisle), Emma (Emmett)... Abriella is a good mix of a few of their names. Daphoene means bloody one, hahaha! I would have had to research name meanings though and found something that fit. My daughters name Kalila Lani (its said Kuh-Lee-Luh) means the sea the sky and the heavens.
I liked her idea of an unique or rare name for a child who was believed to be one of a kind. Not sure if I'd go as far as making up a new name by portmandeau-ing though.
Does no one else find it ironic that Bella makes up a new name for a girl, but if she'd have had a son he'd have been named after his father and biological grandfather, and middle named after Jacob?
