I've always thought Bellamy was rather silly & odd sounding, like "Belly Me's!". But on a pet? It's fine. Pets have a much wider scope of naming than people. Growing up on a farm I've had animals named Diesel, Pillow, Pink Ribbon, Little Man & Bluebell before. There are other diminutives & variants of Cecilia that I prefer more but it's fine. Still a shade too old lady-ish at the moment imo but it's time will come again.

I always think of Bellamy as female and Bonamy as male.

I find Cecilia very frilly and complicated, unlike the sleek elegance of Cecily.

So, OK, they wouldn[t be the names of my dog and snake, but they do have a similar vibe.

Cecilia is very pretty. Bellamy is not my style.
