This month a live action version of 'The Beauty and the Beast' was released which, of course, features a main character named
Belle. I am French and to me it is more of a word than a name (it means 'beautiful') and I could never use this as a full name because in
France that would just be a bit weird. But I really like it in theory, it has a pretty sound and sounds like the English word 'bell' which is nice. I also really like 'The Beauty and the Beast' and the character of
Belle. I grew up with that movie and it holds so many nice childhood memories.
1) What do you think of
Belle?
2)
Will it get popular? If they had released this 10 years ago I am sure it would have exploded in popularity but now with all the -bella/-bel names falling from favor I am not sure if it will have an impact.
3)
Bella or
Belle?
4) If you had to use it as a nickname, which full name would you choose? Options would be
Isabella,
Isabel,
Isabelle,
Annabella,
Annabel,
Mirabelle,
Mirabella etc.
5) What are your opinions on Maribella,
Mirabella,
Annabel and
Annabella? I think these four would be my top contenders for the nickname
Belle. Does
Belle work as a nickname for all of these? Which one is your favorite?
