Can anyone help me think of a middle name to go with Belle?

HELP! I can't find a middle name that goes with Belle, any clever people out there. I don't like anything too wacky. Thanks!

I think you will really struggle with that. i can't think of anything tbh and your daughter will spend her life telling people that Belle isn't short for anything in her case.

Please just call her Isabelle/ [Isobel if you want to do the Belle and Sebastian thing)

then you can always shorten it, and you don't have to worry about a middle name that sounds right cos lots of things go with Isabelle.

Can you see why I was struggling?! Its certainly a challenge. I never considered it a wacky name though. Did think about Bella, but I think of Bella Emberg (remember her?!) and the women's magazine with the fabulous top tips!!

This baby naming business is so hard, I didn't struggle like this last time. And as for boy's names...nooo idea!

Someone mentioned Evie, is that a common name now? My Dd is Lily and its amazing how many Lily's I came across as soon as I named her that.

All these posts have got me seriously thinking about Belle now..mmm back to the drawing board me thinks!

I know a beautiful big brown horse called Bella

tryingtocookacurry · 14/07/2008 21:17

I like Belle Sophia as someone mentioned before!

mamabea · 14/07/2008 21:19

Belle Rose
Belle Mae

think one syllable names go well?

bluenosesaint · 15/07/2008 00:17

I think Belle is lovely!

I like the earlier suggestion of Belle Alexandra. Beautiful.

As for others, hmmm, how about:

Belle Amelia
Belle Olivia
Belle Hannah
Belle Maria
Belle Hope
Belle Grace
Belle Rebecca
Belle Georgia
Belle Catherine

zippitippitoes · 15/07/2008 00:20

belle alexandra

belle mallory

belle antonia

zippitippitoes · 15/07/2008 00:20

belle jacqueline

80sMum · 15/07/2008 01:08

How about:
Belle Marie
Belle Maria
Belle Marina
Belle Christina
Belle Olivia
Belle Susannah
Belle Victoria
Belle Georgina

ninedragons · 15/07/2008 01:12

Elizabeth
Katherine
Miriam

I think it needs to be fairly long to balance.

thumbwitch · 15/07/2008 01:32

Belle Helene
FGS not Belle Eve (say it out loud)

branflake81 · 15/07/2008 11:38

I was going to say andsebastian. But I see I am hopelessly unoriginal and everyone else got there first .

Lilypink · 15/07/2008 20:36

bluenosesaint and 80smum I do like your idea of Belle Olivia, its the first suggestion that when said out-loud it actually flows, I find most middle names with Belle are a bit of a stumble. And it sounds nice with my surname too THANK YOU! Belle is now back on my list
