Re: My column on Bela, Dracula, Vlad and Lestat
My guess is that Bela is being used on girls as a variant of Bella. Some of them might be Hispanic (due to Isabela being in use among Spanish-speakers), but I'm not really sure. The few boys getting the name Bela are most likely of Hungarian descent. Most of the little boys named Vlad are probably of Eastern European descent. I'd imagine most the parents using these two names are probably foreign-born.
