What do you think? DH just came up with Belinda. I think it's quite sweet and I like Belle as nn, and we've struggled a lot to agree on any names so have added it to the shortlist. Am aware it's v retro, though, and not making a comeback and some might hate it! Also aware of Belinda Carlisle obvs, though DC's generation won't be.

I don't think enough time has passed for Belinda to be considered "retro". It's in the same league as Kimberly, Diane and Karen.

But it reminds me of a cow, so regardless of its outdatedness, I'm not a fan.

Belinda?

Omg no 😂 There's a very popular podcast out at the moment call my dad wrote a porno and the subject of the convo is a seductress called Belinda Blinks 😂 That's all I can think of when I hear the name!
