Siblings for May Belle

General Name Discussion
1

First off, just to be clear, I’m not considering [name]May[/name] [name]Belle[/name] at all - I simply heard it and got totally absorbed in trying to imagine what her siblings would be named. But I’ve drawn a blank, partly because to me it fits into its own category of American name, and as a [name]Brit[/name] I don’t really feel qualified to make a judgement about other names that might be in that category.

So, what would you name [name]May[/name] [name]Belle[/name]'s brothers and sisters? It is a double name and pronounced like the two names smooshed together, as opposed to like [name]Mabel[/name], although I’m more interested in non-double names you might give to her siblings.

[name]Hi[/name] [name]Auburn[/name], [name]May[/name] [name]Belle[/name] has a Southern vibe to me. The only one I’ve ever heard of was the mother-in-law of the late legendary country singer [name]Johnny[/name] [name]Cash[/name]. His wife [name]June[/name] [name]Carter[/name] [name]Cash[/name] sang with her sisters and mother [name]Maybelle[/name] in a group called the [name]Carter[/name] Family. They were quite good too with wonderful harmonies… Anyway, just a little tidbit for you. Here are some sibling suggestions for [name]May[/name] [name]Belle[/name].

Wow, what a great list [name]Mischa[/name] - thank you! I especially adore the idea of [name]Amos[/name] with [name]May[/name] [name]Belle[/name], although so many sound just fabulous with her.

I’m curious - do you see [name]Darla[/name] as the same type of name?

Thanks again,
[name]Auburn[/name]
