God no. Unless you are a celebrity you may as well start bullying her now.

southernbelle77 · 26/10/2009 11:40

Belle Alexandra Grace is far better imo.

The other name brings up images of cat toys, sorry.

BornToFolk · 26/10/2009 11:43

Belle is lovely. Kitten is silly.

MrsBadger · 26/10/2009 11:51

Belle Alexandra and Belle Grace are both lovely if not quite my cup of tea..
Be aware 'Belle Alexandra Grace' spells BAG.

Kitten is a lovely nickname but shouldn't be used anywhere near any official paperwork.

LetThereBeRock · 26/10/2009 12:16

Go for it if you want her to become a stripper or a porn star. That's what it sounds like.

Belle Alexandra is lovely though. I prefer it without the Grace.

MRSwereWOOLFhasabroomofherown · 26/10/2009 12:34

No, unless is really for a cat.

Miggsie · 26/10/2009 12:35

If you think she is the kind of child who can put up with the class mewing at her for 5 years, go ahead, otherwise...no, really no.

Stick with Belle.

Biobytes · 26/10/2009 12:36

Belle, maybe... kitten... not really, Belle Kitten??? forget it!

JohnnyYellowHat · 26/10/2009 12:37

Belle is sweet, but definitely not with Kitten. Alexandra and Grace are both lovely.

Iklboo · 26/10/2009 12:42

Who will Belle the Kitten (cat). Sorry, I don't really like it

CuppaTeaJanice · 26/10/2009 12:49

Belle is ok, as long as your surname isn't End.

Kitten is that angry lesbian from Big Brother.

boodleboot · 26/10/2009 13:02

Belle is lovely but more of a middle name i think rather than a first name.

like Eliza Belle...or Matilda Belle

qumquat · 26/10/2009 13:15

Belle is nice. Belle kitten sounds like a porn star.

JANEITEPatrickNormanMcHennesy · 26/10/2009 13:17

Belle is lovely but I prefer it as a nn for Isobel. Kitten is terrible imho - sounds like a Jamie Oliver name.

Isobel Grace is v nice.

Bumperlicioso · 26/10/2009 13:38

Belle is lovely. Kitten is just mean.

mathanxiety · 26/10/2009 14:04

Belle is a lovely first name, forget the Kitten idea.

KAEKAE · 26/10/2009 14:36

I am sorry I agree with the others...drop the kitten...Belle is quite sweet though.

sweetnitanitro · 26/10/2009 14:44

Agree with LetThereBeRock, it sounds like a stripper name.

Earthstar · 26/10/2009 14:51

Porn star name

Doyouthinktheysaurus · 26/10/2009 16:35

Kitten is awful...Belle is quite nice though.

lovelybubbly · 26/10/2009 16:46

lol, best thing i've seen all day.

no never go with kitten, unless you want her to grow up & want to go & live with hugh hefner. belle is lovely though.

Plonker · 26/10/2009 17:05

Kitty nicer than Kitten IMHO

Although I'm not sure that even that works with Belle though? Sounds too much like a description iykwim.

How about Isabelle Kitty? ...and use the nn Belle?

IControlSandwichMonkey · 26/10/2009 17:08

Nobody uses middle names though. Kitten, Troglodyte, Candida, tis all the same to me.

LilyBolero · 26/10/2009 17:09

Or what about Isabelle Katharine, which could then be shortened to Belle Kitten as a nickname (if you really wanted to do that.....)

MaggieBruja · 26/10/2009 20:00

My face actually contorted into a wince when I read that.

I agree , if you must, put Isabelle Katherine on the birth cert and let it develop organically in to nick name Belle Kitten. Which is hideous! but horses for courese!
