Baby Belle

I believe Holly Willougby has called her little girl Belle. Is it short for something or is this her full name? I don't know if it "goes" with Harry her sons name.

"Baby Belle" sounds like a cheese!

I don't know if it's full name or nn.

Pinkjenny · 15/04/2011 15:49

I lilke it. I can't help myself.

I do like Belle but I find it a real tongue twister with Baldwin. I believe that is her full name.

it's a bit

Belle is a full name. It means 'beautiful' in French.

JiltedJohnsJulie · 15/04/2011 17:07

Quite like Belle but not a fan of alliteration at all. Can't see why it doesn't go with Harry though, they are both lovely names.

Belle is fine - BUT it doesn't go with Baldwin. Almost anything else would...

Kate Baldwin
Charlotte Baldwin
Elizabeth Baldwin
Imogen Baldwin

etc etc but 'Belle Baldwin' say it out loud its awful! I'd hate to introduce myself as that...

uniqueforever · 15/04/2011 17:24

Don't like it. Doesn't go with Harry and sounds silly with Baldwin.

Kaekae · 15/04/2011 17:41

Sounds too much with Baldwin and don't think it goes well with Harry.
I actually used to quite like the name until I posted it on here and someone said it was too Tinkerbell, can't say it without thinking that now.

It sounds dreadful with the surname

MelinaM · 15/04/2011 18:22

Isabelle or Anabelle, and then used Belle as a nn

jellybeansontoast · 15/04/2011 18:24

Urgh, dreadful with the surname. Belle Willoughby sounds better.

Baby Belle!

A friend of mine had a Baby Gym Jim.

She will be called Belly Baldwin, mark my words. Bella would be much better
