Huge Congrats on the healthy birth of Belle Baldwin. What are everyone's thoughts on the name?

I like Belle. Not sure about Baldwin.

holly who?belle baldwin sounds like a saloon moll pal of adelaide adams

takethisonehereforastart · 14/04/2011 18:43

I like Belle. I do not like Baldwin.

NorkilyChallenged · 14/04/2011 18:43

Baldwin is her surname (husband's surname)

That is quite early as she's due same time as me, hope all is okay with them both.

WannabeNigella · 14/04/2011 18:43

Holly Willoughby. Sorry, forgot that some people haven't been following the story these last few days.

horrible both names

Shoesytwoesy · 14/04/2011 18:43

couldn't care less tbh.

pink4ever · 14/04/2011 18:44

I actually really like the name Belle but not with that surname.

JoyceEasterBunnyaby · 14/04/2011 18:44

Is Baldwin a middle name or a surname?

hardhatdonned · 14/04/2011 18:44

Is it short for Isabelle or just straight up Belle? I like the former loathe the latter.

WannabeNigella · 14/04/2011 18:45

Ah now that makes a bit more sense lol. Thought Baldwin sounded very surname ish! Grin

So just Belle to discuss then!

Aaaaaw she's had her baby! How lovely.

NettoSuperstar · 14/04/2011 18:45

Not a bad name, could be worse but wouldn't be my choice.

Hammy02 · 14/04/2011 18:45

Billie Piper's character has a similar name in Secret Diaries! Apart from that, always avoid alliteration in children's names.

ashamedandconfused · 14/04/2011 18:45

was she prem? I saw HW on Tv a few weeks ago and she did not look pg to me!

sharbie · 14/04/2011 18:46

disney/corrie

52Girls · 14/04/2011 18:46

I've been on the edge of my seat waiting to hear what she's name the baby.

The very edge.

yama · 14/04/2011 18:46

Belle would go better with Willoughby. Much better.

WannabeNigella · 14/04/2011 18:46

Baldwin is husband's surname as Norkily said.

Not sure I'd have chosen Belle with that surname though. She has said it is Belle so I don't think it's Isabelle Hardhat.

Belle is a lovely name , likely Isabelle (can't do much about surname) When was baby due ?

WannabeNigella · 14/04/2011 18:47

Yes baby was early. About 6 weeks I believe.

Belle would work better if her surname was 'Tup' Grin

WannabeNigella · 14/04/2011 18:47

Lol at worraliberty

Thumbs down on the name then.

Glad mum and baby are doing well though (although not sure sentiments from a random internet stranger mean owt to her!) after an early entrance to the world.

Hammy02 · 14/04/2011 18:48

Just as well her hubby's surname isn't 'End'.
