I've been a member for awhile, but have never posted. I don't think I've ever even commented on anyone's post, but I see that people get a great response here... so I'm just curious...

I'm 8 months pregnant with a little girl, and her name is going to be Bella Mary, (Mary after both of her grandmothers.) What are your opinions on this?

even though bella is getting more popular, i still think it's pretty. & the fact that you're using mary is nice. ♥

The only thing I don't like about it is that both the names have 2 syllables... if her last name does too than it may be a bit excessive...

I think Bella is pretty, though, I've only ever heard it used on dogs, but it's still pretty. Marie would sound better than Mary, but it's all up to you :)!

Congratulations :)!

It's a lovely name.
I like Bella Marie more because it doesn't seem as harsh. But I love the significance of Mary.

I agree. Bella Marie flows much better and is beautiful.

I like it a lot! A couple of people said Marie would be better, but I think Mary is lovely!

I think it's very pretty. I knew a little girl named Bella, and she was the most precious little thing - SO smart and clever, and also cute as a button.

The name definitely suited her! I checked and sure enough, I have a couple pics of her scanned. I guess she'd be about seven or eight now.

Bella is very cute but after reading the comments, I think I agree that Bella Maria flows better. Also, Mary Bella flows better than Bella Mary to me. However, I understand why you would want Mary as a middle name and both names are very nice. :)

its really a great name, but i agree that bella marie sounds better. my middle name is marie, which is after my grandmother, whos name was mary. its just a variation on it. either way, its a gorgeous name though. :)

Hmm... I like Bella, that's pretty. But I'm not to found of Mary though but that's understandable why you want that to be her middle name. And Bella Mary dosen't flow together either, like some other people said. And [livejournal.com profile] mystiaunknown is right Bella Marie sounds so much better.

That's beautiful.
Bella is such an adorable name. I love girly names & Bella is the epitome of girliness :-)

I'm not a big fan of Bella, but I think the combo sounds nice and Mary is a great underused name, even better that it has meaning for you.

I totally disagree on changing it to Marie or Maria. Marie is the most overused, boring mn out there. Bella Mary is a distinctive name and sounds fine as a combo, just the way it is.

Bella Mary makes me think of a nun...although it could be that I watched Sister Act yesterday....and I have to agree with some of the other posters, Bella Marie flows MUCH better :/ But I think a lot of it has to do with the childs last name too...Bella Mary Cooper would be...horrendous (to me) as opposed to Bella Mary Copenhagen or something thats a bit 'stronger' and more than 2 syllables.

just my .02
