Help[Opinions] Belle?
What do you think of Belle?
It has been on my mind and I cannot decide if I like it or not. I am attracted to it because of associations (largely the song in Notre Dame de Paris, which I just rediscovered), but I don't like that it's a French word but an English name (I dislike Soleil for this reason).
I also am not sure if I like the sound. It reminded me of Beauty and the Beast (another great association), which got me thinking that I like the sound of Beauty a lot more than Belle. Beauty has a nifty Puritan virtue name feel. Beauty doesn't feel usable as a name because it's so much pressure (and isn't there enough pressure to be attractive without a name to live up to?). Then again...Belle means the exact same thing. Hmm.
I need to be convinced one way or the other. So...your thoughts?
