[Opinions] Re: Belle
It's rather nice, but since it's one syllable and French, runs the risk of sounding fillery as a middle name (one of two qualifications seem to apply to almost all fillers- Rose, Grace, Lynn, Renée, Marie...). I'm not sure, though.Random, but Belle always makes me think of this: in the commedia group at school, we pulled the meeting scene from Shrew (the one with the ''plain Kate, bonny Kate, sometimes Kate the curst' monologue from Petruchio) for Isabella and the Capitano. Since she clearly can't be called Kate, we used Belle instead: '...for you are called plain Belle, and bonny Belle...' So I automatically want to suggest Bonnie Belle for a combination, but it's far too superfluous.Some real suggestions:
Scholastique Belle
Cécile Belle
Christiane Belle
Virginia Belle / Virginie Belle
Eugénie Belle
Victoria Belle
Victorine Belle
Melisande BelleNo, that doesn't sound too fillerish at all to me, in fact. Any that you like?
