No. I really do not like it at all. I don't understand the obsession with Bel-something. Like Belrose. No way!

I really like Phoebe and I like names with Bel- prefixes, but for some reason, Belphoebe isn't thrilling me. Maybe b/c it *almost* sounds too long. I like the sound of "Belphoe" and "Phoebelle" (had to put the extra -le or else it sounds like feeble), but Belphoebe...I dunno. I think I like it better as two distinct names: Belle Phoebe. However, Belphoebe will probably end up growing on me, since I'm already in love with Belrose!

Belphoebe is a beautiful name! It's unusual, but usable. Has a bit of a mystical sound to it.

I would hesitate before giving it to a real child, but as for the name itself, I like it! It's a nice deviation from the names with 'bel'/'belle' at the end (Isabelle, Annabelle, etc).

It just looks and sounds awkward to me. I'd much prefer Isabel or Phoebe (or Phoebe Isabel).

It looks totally made up to me. I really dislike it, and it's too long.

I like Phoebe, but not Belphoebe.

sorry, but I don't care for it. However, Phobe is nice, and if you really wanted to use Belphoebe, have her go by the nickname Belle, Bella, or Phoebe :) Just a suggestion.

Belphoebe is interesting, but it seems too contrived. I prefer Belle and Phoebe by themselves.

I really don't like it. Phoebe is great, but Belphoebe isn't.
