so, what do you tink of...

Hey everyone,

So, I'm pregnant (due in late August) and it's a girl! Yay for girls! You've all got to tell me what you think of the name Belladonna Rose honestly, okay? By the way, I would rarely call her Belladonna; I'm going to choose either Belle/Bella or Donna and pretty much stick with that one as what she'll go by. Here are my three reasons for choosing it:

1. My favourite band is Belle & Sebastian. I want to name my daughter after them, but Belle is kind of... too short and too common for me.

2. (Yes, I am a massive fangirl. I can't help it!) One of my favourite fictional characters and role models ever is Donna(tella) Moss from The West Wing and I would love to name my daughter after such a strong, beautiful, compassionate, intelligent and funny woman (yeah, I'm aware she's not real!), but I'm not big on the name Donna by itself.

3. It means "beautiful woman" and what girl wouldn't like to be called that?

So yes, there you are. Rose as the middle name because it's my best friend's name. Do you guys think it's all right?

I personally don't like it that much, but I love your reasoning behind it. I am a big supporter of names that have meaning to those bestowing them. And I personally love Donna from The West Wing too so yay!

I've also come to the conclusion that as much as I ask other people their thoughts I really don't care so much about the answers because it's between my husband, my baby, and me. So don't put too much stock in what others tell you if you love it, go for it!

Thanks a lot! Yeah, it's true - if you and your family are happy with the name, then that's what matters most (I still have to talk him down from Cordelia, ha).

Oh, Donna. She's the coolest. I've loved her since I was, like, fourteen.
