[Opinions] WDYT of Bellamy?
For a girl?
I'd probably only use it as a mn. It is a family name and a couple of my male cousins have it as a mn (Nathaniel Bellamy and John Bellamy "Jack")
I'm not usually one for surnames as fns and especially not on girls but I think it could be kind of spunky. Plus I kind of like Bell as a nn but don't like the frilliness of other -bel names. Bellamy isn't as princessy and overly girly but still feminine...I think.

I don't know how it is spelled, but it reminds me of that English phrase, "Blimey!"
Since it's a family name, that's fine. Like you,I'm not a fan of using unrelated surnames as first names, especially for girls.
I like it. It's on my guilty pleasure list.
Bellamy would be a fine middle name, but as a first name... well, it does sound different.
I like it, it's unique and has personal history for you
I think it works. If it's a family name, that doesn't necessarily mean only the boys are allowed to have it.
I think it would be fine as a mn.
I don't like it at all sorry
It might be OK for a girl but I see it as male. It is used as a male first name. Bellamy is French in origin and it means "beautiful friend" (from the French belle=beautiful and amie=friend). I used this as the name for my male parrot. I don't know if I'd use it for a child or a charactor, though.
