Danna Belphoebe is very pretty. I like it. It's nice a strong, full of will, but still veru feminine. The first two (Alayna & Kara) are too feminine, imo, while Rowan is too masculine (again, imo).

I like Alayna Belphoebe best followed by Danna Belphoebe.

I love the name Phoebe, but I do not like Belphoebe at all, sorry,

I think Belphoebe is lovely! I think it needs a soft, simple name as a fn, so my favourites of yours are Danna Belphoebe and Kara Belphoebe, although IMO Cara Belphoebe would be better.

I like Kara Belphoebe best.

Yikes!

Belphoebe looks horrible. Sorry. It also sounds awkward. Sorry, but I don't care for your first name choices, but Kara Belphoebe flows the best (but it still isn't good sounding).

To my American-English oriented ear it is a beautiful, poetic sounding name, and I can imagine it as a middle name.
I would recommend giving a child a first name that people in her culture (teachers, classmates, co-workers, etc.) will be able to spell correctly when they hear it and pronounce correctly when they see it. I may be over-sensitive about that, I'll admit. I grew up in a region of the country where my name, Hugh, was often not recognized as being a name at all, so I know how that kind of "difference" can be used against a child by other children - and even by adults.

In Holland, Belphoebe can be translated with Callphoebe...because Bellen is a verb and bel is a subjective (sp.?!?!), and bel can be translated with either 'ring' or 'call'..so as long as she doens't go to the Netherlands, she'll be fine..:)

cute name

However, I don't like the way Belphoebe looks or sounds.

I'm from The Nederlands and If you call you baby that way it will be bullied. Because you say in English when you translate is Call Phoebe..

Hmm . . . I like Kara Belphoebe best of those - Alayna, Danna and Rowan all feel like a language mismatch with the very Greek Belphoebe.

I'm not sure about Belphoebe itself - it seems to be a bit of a mouthful of strong syllables.
