The problem with anything that contains Belle is it is a very hard name to pull off, everyone I know with Belle anywhere in their name who is not classically beautiful have had tough times being the butt of people’s jokes at school and in the workplace.

Lucia 100% - pretty & classy, not overused

Belle is too Disney Princess and won’t age well
Rose is really nice but quite common
Victoria I’m not a fan of but not sure why!

CatStoleMyChocolate · 03/02/2024 14:41

If you like Belle, how about Annabelle or Isabelle? Annabelle Rose or Annabelle Victoria would both be nice options and Belle could be a nickname.

I like Rose as a first name but not sure Rose Victoria flows well - I think Victoria Rose sounds much better.

CatStoleMyChocolate · 03/02/2024 14:42

Oh, and Lucia is lovely but she will spend her life in the U.K. explaining how to pronounce it!

A very underused name I rather like is Lucinda - Lucinda Rose would work well.

MeadowSoaprano · 03/02/2024 14:48

All Fine. Victoria likely to be shortened and I'm not keen on Vicky but that's just me. Lucia - I would expect you to be Italian.

Bigearringsbigsmile · 03/02/2024 14:50

Victoria rose is gorgeous.

Don't like belle
Lucia will have people going " luchia or looseea?"

LadyEloise1 · 03/02/2024 14:51

I know a Victoria Rose, she is lovely.
Her name really suits her.

Pieceofpurplesky · 03/02/2024 14:53

Lucia Belle
Victoria Rose

Beautiful names. Or play around with Rose?
Rosalie Belle

KirstenBlest · 03/02/2024 15:30

Belle - not keen on Belle. Too close to Bellend and Belly

Victoria - Victoria is nice but willbe Vicky

Rose - Rose is OK

Lucia - Loo-sha, Lucy-a, Loo-see-a or Lootch-ee-a? Too complicated. Just use Lucy

Rose as a middle name is boring and predictable

Lucinda is horrible

ChocolateCinderToffee · 03/02/2024 16:38

Lucia. I think most people would know how to pronounce it the Italian way.

Victoria Rose sounds like a sexy underwear brand.

KirstenBlest · 03/02/2024 17:12

@ChocolateCinderToffee , I'd think many would say Lucy-a, Luce-ee-a or Loosha.

Nicebloomers · 03/02/2024 17:51

Lucia Belle is very pretty

GrandHighPoohbah · 03/02/2024 17:57

What about Victoria Rosemary, to avoid the much overused Rose?

PickledScrump · 03/02/2024 18:42

Absolutely not Victoria, don’t do that to your daughter. I speak from experience.

I like Belle and love Daisy. Daisy Lucia is lovely

Notellinganyone · 03/02/2024 18:47

Lucia. I like the Loo see ah pronunciation personally.

Gullillahvit · 03/02/2024 18:47

Rose Victoria is nicer and both lovely names. Tori is another nickname instead of Vicky or Vic.

Onelife2024 · 03/02/2024 19:17

Notellinganyone · 03/02/2024 18:47

Lucia. I like the Loo see ah pronunciation personally.

Yes, me too.

ChocolateCinderToffee · 04/02/2024 23:19

Enough people watched Mapp and Lucia on telly.

KirstenBlest · 05/02/2024 09:56

ChocolateCinderToffee · 04/02/2024 23:19

Enough people watched Mapp and Lucia on telly.

And people have been on holiday to St Lucia, which is in the Commonwealth.
It's pronounced differently in different languages.

OopsieeDaisy · 05/02/2024 15:36

Lucia is lovely but the different pronunciations would put me off personally. You mentioned Daisy further up, I absolutely love that.
I’m unsure about Belle as a standalone name but as a pp suggested, Annabelle and Isabelle are both lovely.
For me, Victoria is ok as a middle name but not very current/fresh for a first name.

wherearemywellingtons · 05/02/2024 15:49

Lucia Daisy

playbadlycast · 05/02/2024 16:02

Victoria Daisy

RuthW · 05/02/2024 16:06

Victoria Rose is lovely.

Lucia can be said three ways which would annoy me.

ChildrenOfTheQuorn · 06/02/2024 21:29

Victoria is a nice name but will inevitably become Vickie so I'd use it as a middle name only.

Rose is overused. Belle is naff.

I really like Lucia and it was in our top names but I was put off by the different pronunciations.

So maybe Daisy Victoria?

Rose is overused and Belle is naff but Daisy is OK?? 😆
