What do you think of Bellamy for a boy? Is it too out there?

Can't hear that name without thinking about David peeking out a big bushy shrub!

I think some surnames work as first names, but I don't think this does.

Also reminds me of David... creeping... slowly through the bushes...talking... in hushed tones...

I immediately thought of David Bellamy and now can't get the image of a small boy with a bushy beard out of my head.

It sounds more like a middle name that runs in a family, eg it was mother's maiden name or similar.

Names don't need shortening.

I have a 3 syllable name that never gets shortened.

I don't think Bellamy is out there at all. It's easy to say and spell. It means 'fine friend' apparently!

Not great. Trying too hard to be different, and are you planning to shorten it to Bell?

Happenchance · 19/04/2022 15:37

I like the sound but think there's a risk that they will get called Belle or Bellend.

Pember · 19/04/2022 15:37

I actually quite like it! Only problem would be nickname Bell being mistaken for Belle.

short answer - yes

longer answer - I'm not into surnames as first names. use as a middle name perhaps?
