As a name for our 12 day old daughter or does it make you think of ambulances and nee naws?

She has an elder sister and brother (Katie and Liam)

Thanks!!!

Oops thought you meant bell as middle name.

As surname not a problem as long as her middle name isn't nina.

Nina Isabelle would sound better.

honeybee - Iris is lovely too. Good luck deciding. And thanks for suggestion Margiebargie - thinking might have Christina as full name but can't decide...

I like Nina as a name.

I wouldn't have made the link but it's also going to be a fairly short lived childish thing if anyone does.

Go for it!

How about Antonina Bell if you want to balance the names out more?

Ruthie - we're down to either Nina or Iris.

I love Harry Potter and didn't make the Katie Bell connection, so I wouldn't worry too much about that. She was a minor character. Smile

Totally missed the Katie Bell harry Potter connection. Will have to Google! Honeybee exciting that Nina in your top two. Whats the other contender?

Hi - Nina is in our top two for DD. I had the same concerns as you as someone else mentioned on a thread I started that the name had nee-naw nee-naw connotations. These had never crossed my mind before someone else mentioned it!

I think it a lovely, classy name. We only have one other contender!

There is a published author by the name of nina bell. So obviously works.

But if her other sibling don't have middle names I honestly wouldn't give her one either.

And Nina Bell is really lovely.
