I think it could be a lovely name ( named after the star and the Latin meaning female warrior) and could be called Belle for short )

Well, it's a cool name, but not after Harry Potter.

I know a little Beatrix and it reminds me of that! But the pronunciation Belle-A-Trix is cumbersome and Bella-Trix isn't correct. So I think I'd pass. Also maybe a bit too Asterix. Bellatrix would be his pretty and pugnacious pal.

Ok so I just realised about Harry Potter but I really want and old name so I was thinking viola ( like Shakespeare) or Minerva ( oh god I’m just naming hp characters at this point ) I am honestly not trying too I had I great grandmother named Minerva and I could call her M for short

and i reckon you’re called something like… Emma

I would only think of the Harry Potter character

Is this a joke?

CowGirl19 · 29/07/2024 11:58

Belle is lovely - but sorry Bellatrix just makes me think of the Harry Potter character and so personally I think that dates the name.

we will have to agree to disagree
