Re: Belinda
in reply to a message by Amazing
Not a huge fan. It makes me think of a person with kitchy tastes. Like she'd wear costume jewelry and out-dated clothes and have ugly knick-knacks all over her house. And lawn ornaments. Plus I really dislike the sound of Linda, so Belinda just seems like a frilly elaboration of it.
It also reminds me of an anthropology professor I had because it was her first name. I pretty strongly associate it with her since she's the only one I've ever met. (Although the image described above doesn't match the professor.)

As I was describing it I thought, I know this is going to actually be appealing to someone. Just not me, although it does make for a great character name.
Omg, I clicked on that link, and was not prepared! That's not quite the Belinda I had in mind... perhaps she's more of a mix of what I described and my anthro prof (who was kind of soft-spoken and hippie-ish). I just googled my professor and her name is actually spelled Bilinda. I'd forgotten about that.
