HelpRe: Belle
in reply to a message by RoxStar
Hmmm I don't really see it as dated because it has never been common at all. Didn't Belle Watling have a lot of money? I mean she was a prostitute but I don't think she was low class (at least not financially). Yeah I'd definitely avoid Clara Belle too, sounds like the name of a cow :P

Belle Watling had money, but she didn't have class. She didn't know how classy people dressed or acted, and in that time and place, all the money in the world didn't mean anything if you couldn't act the part. Which is still true today, to some extent.
Belle made the top 100 or 200 lists back in the late 19th century/early 20th, so it was fairly popular at one time.

The highest was number 90 over a hundred years ago. I don't consider that very common. Not common enough to sound dated anyway. Just my opinion, though ;)
