It's okay but it looks like feminine in my opinion. No offense.

Béla is very handsome. I mostly associate with Lugosi, which adds some gothic glamour to it and also a sense of tragedy too given his struggles with substance abuse and ultimate death. I agree that it can sound feminine if you think "Bella", but if you get rid of that association it's a perfectly fine male name and quite dashing and dramatic in its own way. Paired with the right more-traditionally-masculine name I think it can be lovely. I do think you'd have to have Hungarian association to pull it off in real life, but maybe if you're a big fan of classic horror and Lugosi you could own it as a middle name choice.

I like:

---

Béla Dorian
Béla Konstantin

Maybe also:

---

Béla Abram
Béla Dmitriy
Béla Gabriel
Béla Ignatius
Béla Magnus
Béla Matthias
Béla Nikolai
Béla Ozias
Béla Tiberius
Béla Tycho
Béla Vincent (yes, Lugosi and Price again)
Béla Wolfgang

I love Béla. I went through an intense Béla phase about 10 or 12 years ago. I think my favourite combo was Béla Francis?? I'm not sure why, though. I was going through a deep classic horror movie phase and spent hours making combos inspired by spooky stuff.

Of your combos I adore Béla Ferdinand, Béla Konstantin (I also think Béla Constantine would be fantastic, it was the first combo idea that popped into my head when I opened this!), Béla Wystan, Béla Tristan (what a beautiful male name!!) And Béla Balthazar is great, it sounds exactly like a cartoon villain ought to. Béla Roger is so unexpected and joyful, I love that one too! Ahh, you're so good.

If I dig up my old classic horror love, I think Béla Vincent would also be dashing (after Lugosi and Price).

Béla Valentino would be too much, right? But my god would it be great. The DRAMA.

I love Béla Fleck, but, don't like the name really.
