We're expecting a girl in May and have been looking at names. What are people's thoughts on Belle Breah Rose ( Breah is pronounced Bree ah) Smile

What a beautiful name! My baby niece is called Belle too Smile

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 08/02/2017 16:17

Lovely name OP 😀

KlingybunFistelvase · 08/02/2017 16:52

Is Rose your surname OP, or are you planning to have two middle names?

Are you totally set on Belle as a first name? I think Breanna Rose would be a lovely alternative if not.

Tory1982 · 08/02/2017 17:01

Definatly want Belle as first name and Breah and Rose are middle names, I like Brianna but would be shortened to Anna, Breah is the English version of Brianna

I know a Breanna; she gets shortened to Bre. Pretty name.

KlingybunFistelvase · 08/02/2017 17:54

What else are you looking at op? You said in your op that you are looking at names plural. Does that mean you have a list? If you are 100% sure of the name you have then it doesn't really matter what our opinions are Smile.

Tory1982 · 08/02/2017 18:13

I'm about 70% sure on the name but just wondered what people's thoughts were or if anyone else had any suggestions for middle names for Belle

KlingybunFistelvase · 08/02/2017 18:38

If I'm totally honest, I think there are nicer names around than Belle, but then it's not my DD! I wouldn't think "oh how awful" if I met someone with that name or anything, so go for it if that's what you like Smile.

How about:

Belle Meredith
Belle Serena
Belle Robyn
Belle Seren
Belle Sienna
Belle Rachel
Belle Rebecca
Belle Amelia
Belle Rosanna
Belle Caitlin

Tory1982 · 08/02/2017 18:47

Yeah I really like Belle and I don't know anyone else called that, I've looked at every possible name and I either don't like them or their quite common , I can't find any other names that are nicer than Belle

Samatamfabahaba · 08/02/2017 18:49

I'm so jealous! I am desperate to call ours (if it's a girl) Belle. My DP doesn't like it. At all. Waaahhhhhh!!!!

Tory1982 · 08/02/2017 19:22

Awwwww fingers crossed you get a girl, I'm sure you can win him over with the name , Ive literally looked at every website and no other name sticks out

I prefer Bella to Belle, but I think Belle Breah Rose is lovely. Smile Very pretty name.

Samatamfabahaba · 08/02/2017 20:28

Me too. We've got another now that I love, but it was touch and go for a while, I'm still prepared to play the "I've just pushed this human out of my tiny vagina now give me what I want" card that I've heard so much about though. I love Bella too.

Tory1982 · 08/02/2017 20:39

I like Bella but it reminds me too much of twighlight and yes that's a very good way of getting the name you want lol

Belle is ok. I don't much like Breah, it looks like weird spelling/variant of something 'proper'

ageingrunner · 09/02/2017 10:12

Anyone called belle would definitely have been nicknamed bellend when I was at school. I'm old though so don't know if that would still be a problem nowadays.

Marlboroandmalbec34 · 09/02/2017 10:13

I think its lovely x

Marlboroandmalbec34 · 09/02/2017 10:16

I love Bella but have a Jacob so dh said no Edwards or Bella's x

Angelto5 · 09/02/2017 10:21

Belle is a lovely name and I instantly think of the main character from beauty and the beast.

Tory1982 · 09/02/2017 10:37

Kids today have nicknames for any name , it dsnt matter what the name is . Yeah when I think of Belle I think of beauty and the beast

NarkyMcDinkyChops · 09/02/2017 10:40

I dont like Breah at all, it looks like you mispelled something else. But it doesn't matter as nobody uses middle names anyway, they only seem important when you are thinking about names!

Tory1982 · 09/02/2017 10:43

I like breah as it's different and I can't think of any other middle names to go with Belle , I think it's quite hard to match a middle name to the name Belle

OP posts:
Tory1982 · 09/02/2017 11:24

Does anyone have any other suggestions for a middle name for Belle it would be Belle something Rose thanks

OP posts:
KlingybunFistelvase · 09/02/2017 11:25

Oh dear to 'bellend'... hadn't thought of that! But yeah, children will always come up with nicknames. I guess even names like Sarah or Rebecca could become something rude if you really put your mind to it!

If you wanted to avoid it you could always use Isobel or Annabel, shortened to Belle. Then at least she has the choice when she's older.

KlingybunFistelvase · 09/02/2017 11:27

Belle Joni Rose
Belle Catherine Rose
Belle Verity Rose
Belle Winter Rose (though maybe that's a little too Disney princess)!
Belle Autumn Rose
Belle Lorelei Rose
Belle Lola Rose
Belle Penelope Rose
