I like Jasmine and Bella. I also like the similar Belle.
Not keen on Ivy and certainly don't like it stuck to the Bella. Sorry.

I’d choose either Jasmine or Ivy. Not keen on hyphenated names, I don’t really see the point. Maybe Belle or Bella as a separate middle name if you’re keen on it. Good luck.

Ivy-Belle sounds and flows better than Bella Ivy IMO
Other suggestions.
Lilia Brown
Ella Brown
Lucy Brown
Sofia Brown
Elsie Brown
Jessica Brown

Jasmine is nice enough (although I prefer similar Jessamine - very elegant and less well used so would stand out more). There's also classic Josephine? (lots of nn choice and not too popular).

I personally find Bella and especially Ivy very trendy/popular, so I'm not keen. If you want something different have you considered Christabel nn Bella or Helena with the nn Nell? Or Bryony or Ianthe instead of Ivy?

Some other ideas...
Iva Belle
Bella Fern
Ava Belle
Bella Jade
Ivy Jasmine

KoalaOok · 12/04/2021 11:15

Jasmine is nice. Bella-Ivy is a bit like you've tried too hard to have a unique name.

Rainbowqueeen · 12/04/2021 11:17

Jasmine is lovely. Just be sure you like Jazzy as a NN because she will probably get that
Not keen on Bella-ivy

Happenchance · 12/04/2021 11:21

@Ejm02

Some other ideas... Iva Belle Bella Fern Ava Belle Bella Jade Ivy Jasmine
Not Iva Belle! What if she marries someone with the surname End?! Grin

Jasmine is nice
Bella is nice
Ivy is nice
Bella- Ivy is not.

Peachbubble · 12/04/2021 12:38

I'd go with Jasmine

TatianaBis · 12/04/2021 12:38

Jasmine is very pretty.

Belle-Ivy is just wrong.

KirstenBlest · 12/04/2021 17:23

Bella-Ivy is just wrong

How about Bella-Donna?

KirstenBlest · 12/04/2021 17:24

Bella-Ivy will be said as Bellerivy.

FASDE1517 · 12/04/2021 17:26

@Crunchymum

Jasmine is nice Bella is nice Ivy is nice Bella- Ivy is not.
Totally agree.
Happenchance · 12/04/2021 17:42

I prefer Yasmina/Yasmine to Jasmine, partly because I prefer the nickname Yas to Jazz.

Other suggestions:
Amelia
Bethany
Alyssa
Amalie
Lucinda
Francesca
Elsie

I was going to suggest Amaya until I realised that it sounded like a question when combined with Brown Hmm

I would avoid Ava because Ava Brown is too similar to Ava Braun.

Caijade · 12/04/2021 18:00

I’m definitely not using Bella-ivy now 🤣 I posted because I was starting to question the name myself really appreciate all your opinions! And other name suggestions some other names are lovely ☺️

Flymetothestars · 14/04/2021 07:57

Jasmine is lovely

I agree with others that hyphenated names are horrid

Jemima
Clementine
Felicity
Verity
Roxanne

Jelly4444 · 14/04/2021 08:11

Jasmine is beautiful 😍 Bella and Ivy are lovely too... just not together. Go with Jasmine!

Tambourina · 14/04/2021 08:12

Jasmine is lovely.

Bella-Ivy is grim.
