I love it. It's magically quirky in a sly, ordinary way.

You're the one who loves Belinda, right? I remember you posting about it a little while ago and I told you all about my cultural/linguistic anthropology professor, Bilinda. And then we discussed kitchy costume jewellry pink spandex tights ladies.

Yes I am!
And yes we did! Those were good times.

I'll have to look up that thread to hear what you guys talked about :)

It's not my favorite. It seems kind of old-fashioned and dated to me; sorry.

I don't specifically like it, but I think the images I get from it are fun and pleasant. At first it makes me think of some middle-aged lady stuck in the 80s, who wears brightly colored costume jewellry and spandex tights and has hideous tacky knick-knacks all over her house and yard. But it also makes me think of a cultural anthropology professor I had, who was very soft-spoken and a bit hippie-looking. She spelled her name Bilinda, though.

Not my style, but it's appealing in a quirky sort of way.
I have a relative with this name, though she goes by Linda which I don't understand at all!

Meh, I prefer Melinda. I think it's softer and less gaudy than Belinda.

I like it, and wouldn't mind seeing it more often. It's playful and sophisticated all at once plus it has a retro vibe.

You know, Belinda has been growing on me lately, too. I think it's rather whimsical. Part of me prefers Melinda, basically because I think Mindy and Minnie are rad nicknames, but Belinda is very appealing. I think I'd probably use Lindy as a nn in that case.

I know an adorable toddler with the name!
And that makes me like it a whole lot! She is Belinda nn Billie which I think is one of the most adorable unconventional full name/nickname pairs I've ever heard IRL.

You didn't like Belinda? With her white house and her red wagon and her pet dragon? Gosh. It's like rejecting Isabel!
It reminds me of a very pretty, pleasant person who was also a leading sportswoman with national colours in squash and surfing! Unfortunately, it also reminds me of the late mother of someone I used to know, who was treated, post-mortem, as every kind of saint and angel combined. And, considering the major oddities of her husband and all three kids, I was sceptical ...
As a name, it puzzles me a bit, because I do like it but I can't stand Melinda and I can't figure out why.

It's OK but I can't imagine it on a small child. The only Belinda I know is my cousins' cousin and she's about 25. Her nickname is Bea, which I like.
