Help[Opinions] ECK. I really hate it.
in reply to a message by Fran
It sounds dated, hillbillyish, and the meaning has to do with snakes. Also bears unattractive resemblance to Bertha, Beverly, and Bessie. Kind of a fail for me.
As far as nicknames, Belle is INFINITELY superior to Bindy, which makes you sound culturally ignorant.

I respect our differing opinions but frankly I'm shocked you describe Belinda as "hillbillyish"
As a "hillbilly", this is a name I'd expect to find an urban area or born by some debutante on a rich southern estate - it's fance, in my eyes. As is Beverly.
Bertha and Bessie are definitely hillbilly, but it seems you're group Beverly and Belinda with them simply because of the "be" sound.
Basically, I suppose I'm asking what your reasoning is behind your opinion, out of curiosity, since I just can't see where you're coming from at all.
Also - Bindy, which makes you sound culturally ignorant
I dislike Bindy as well but exactly how does it come off as "culturally ignorant"? Does it hold some old racist or otherwise offensive meaning of some kind?
