What do you think of the name [name_f]Belle[/name_f]? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think it is usable?
I like [name_f]Belle[/name_f]. I automatically think of once upon a time’s [name_f]Belle[/name_f]. Which isn’t a bad things. It’s useable and beautiful.
It is a stunning name - hence it’s huge popularity.
I personally do not care for the name. Sorry. I do feel it is usable.
I like it and also I like [name_f]Bella[/name_f] as a standalone name (not short for [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]) but I’ve never seen either get huge amounts of love on Nameberry.
Yes, it’s definately usable! I can’t understand why anyone would say that it’s not. It is a beautiful vintage name! I like it better as a first name than a nn. I hope you use it!
I like [name_f]Belle[/name_f], but it has always seemed harsher than [name_f]Bella[/name_f] to me (which I love). I go through spurts of admiring [name_f]Belle[/name_f], but I always come back to [name_f]Bella[/name_f] instead. I’m sure if I ever have an [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f], she’ll get [name_f]Belle[/name_f] at some point, but I prefer [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Bella[/name_f] (and even [name_f]Annabel[/name_f] to it). I think [name_f]Belle[/name_f] is a lovely name, though, and I would be happy to meet one.
I love [name_f]Belle[/name_f]! I think it seems more popular than it is, because of all the [name_f]Bella[/name_f]/[name_f]Isabella[/name_f]/[name_f]Arabella[/name_f]/[name_f]Isabel/name_f/[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] et al, but it’s actually not even ranked on the ssa list.
I think [name_f]Belle[/name_f] is extremely useable. I actually know a 17-year-old [name_f]Belle[/name_f] – she is a beautiful, blonde tomboy who enjoys extreme skateboarding.
Her middle name is [name_u]River[/name_u]. [name_m]Both[/name_m] names had significant meaning to her parents. So yes: [name_f]Belle[/name_f] [name_u]River[/name_u].
I think it’s usable. A bit too “Disney [name_f]Princess[/name_f]” for my taste, though.
