[Opinions] Belinda June
A character in the book I’m reading has the double name Belinda June. What do you think of her name? How would you name her brother and sister?

I think it's quite cute. Almost too cute, at least as a double-barrelled name for everyday use.
I like Belinda; would prefer Belinda Jane.

Belinda combines the mid-century frumpiness of Linda and Melinda with a comedic take on 18th century elegance. It's a bit silly. Definitely not fashionable. June also feels dated - I'd prefer Juno if it wasn't so connected with a film about teen pregnancy. Just a very staid combo overall.Belinda June, Gabriel Noah, and Claudia Hope
