Bella is Italian and Spanish for "beautiful," which makes this a no-brainer name choice for parents enraptured with lovely baby daughters. It's also a shortened version of Isabella, which is currently the most popular girls' name in the country. And thanks to Twilight's heroine, played by Kristen Stewart, it just might stay at the #1 spot in 2010! (Wow, do we sound like Ryan Seacrest on the American Top 40 or what?)
