Re: Belle

I also think that both Bella and Belle are ugly, but we differ in that I think that Bella is uglier than Belle.
Maybelle doesn't sound hillbilly to me, just extremely Southern, without a necessarily hillbilly vibe. In other words, all hillbillies may be Southern, but not all Southerners are hillbillies!
I like Mabel, but I agree that Belle doesn't make sense as a nickname for it.
