Belphoebe
This is surely my last post before I take a little break from the boards. It's just a little hard to go cold turkey right now. Well, anyways, the name Belphoebe had just struck me as gorgeous. Since I used to pronounce Phoebe foe-eb-ee (yes, I know, wrong!) I used to pronounce this name bell-foe-eb-ee. Sometimes I find that pronunciation better, but I am getting used bel-fee-bee and now I think that's prettier. Should I hyphenate it? WDYTO it? Does it remind you of anything?

♥♥I adore the name, personally! Though I use a very slihtly different pronunciation - I make the "fee" sound shorter, so it comes out more like "BEL-fuh-bee".
I think it makes a gorgeous name, and I much prefer it to the sometimes overused (and often associated with the girl from Friends) Phoebe and the Twilight-esque Bella. Don't hyphenate it, though, whatever you do! Keep it the way it is; it's gorgeous!MNs, just for fun...Belphoebe Claire (Claire as a MN is my current namecrush [;)

I like it, but I have to admit that it has an odd flow. Phoebe Belle would definitely sound better, but I dislike hyphenated names, Phoebebelle looks weird and I appreciate Belphoebe for its long history and odd charm. So yeah, I like it. I also like Phoebe a lot. Don't hyphenate it. The hyphen would take away its classic quality and it would just be strange.
