Belinda

Belinda is a very unusual name in Poland, but it has had some use nevertheless. Last year (2022) there were 52 Belindas in total in Poland. Linda is a name that became used here in the 80's along with many other names imported from the English-speaking world, though it is definitely an uncommon name overall, and a lot of Polish people seem to consider it a bit pretentious. I suppose it's much the same with Belinda except it's even rarer. Nicknames that a Polish Belinda could use include the ones for Bella and for Linda.

Also used in Spanish.
