Help[Opinions] Re: Bellatrix
in reply to a message by tiff-the-terror
Haha, how coincidental. I just (and by just I mean less than 5 minutes ago) beat the Pokémon Kalos Elite 4 with a team that included my Sneasel named Bellatrix. Odd.
Well, anyway, I have next to no knowledge about Harry Potter, so that association is moot for me. I only think of it as a star name, so I put it in the same group as other astronomical names like Vega, Lyra, Adara, etc. I find Bellatrix to be very pretty, and I agree that meeting a Bella whose formal name is actually Bellatrix would be quite refreshing (although I personally prefer the nickname Trixie). Bellatrix is feminine and strong, beautiful yet dangerous. I think it's definitely usable, except that it's apparently associated with a not-so-nice character, from what I glean from the other comments. I don't think I'd worry about that, though. Aren't the HP books/movies over now? I doubt it'll still be a big thing by the time your little one is old enough to care.
