Danna Belphoebe is very pretty. I like it. It's nice a strong, full of will, but still veru feminine. The first two (Alayna & Kara) are too feminine, imo, while Rowan is too masculine (again, imo).~ Arcadia

I think Belphoebe is lovely! I think it needs a soft, simple name as a fn, so my favourites of yours are Danna Belphoebe and Kara Belphoebe, although IMO Cara Belphoebe would be better.Shannon

Belphoebe looks horrible. Sorry. It also sounds awkward. Sorry, but I don't care for your first name choices, but Kara Belphoebe flows the best (but it still isn't good sounding).

To my American-English oriented ear it is a beautiful, poetic sounding name, and I can imagine it as a middle name.
I would recommend giving a child a first name that people in her culture (teachers, classmates, co-workers, etc.) will be able to spell correctly when they hear it and pronounce correctly when they see it. I may be over-sensitive about that, I'll admit. I grew up in a region of the country where my name, Hugh, was often not recognized as being a name at all, so I know how that kind of "difference" can be used against a child by other children - and even by adults.

ROFLIn Holland, Belphoebe can be translated with Callphoebe...because Bellen is a verb and bel is a subjective (sp.?!?!), and bel can be translated with either 'ring' or 'call'..so as long as she doens't go to the Netherlands, she'll be fine..:)

I'm from The Nederlands and If you call you baby that way it will be bullied. Because you say in English when you translate is Call Phoebe..

Hmm . . . I like Kara Belphoebe best of those - Alayna, Danna and Rowan all feel like a language mismatch with the very Greek Belphoebe.I'm not sure about Belphoebe itself - it seems to be a bit of a mouthful of strong syllables.
