P.S. - Middle Name Thing!
I know, I know, I've been reading some posts about the unimportance or need of a middle name! I can't help it, I'm old school I'd like to have a middle name too picked out too :)

Middle names are very important!!!Don't let people talk you out of giving your child a middle name, just make sure it is something they won't be embarassed to
tell people.Also, I recommend a name that means "strong" or "courageous" because they are going to need that characteristic
by the time they are in school.

I was among those who thought it was unnecessary with middle names,
but if you really (I wonder why?)want your child to have one then
it of course your opinion which counts and not mine.
I would then prefere the middle name "Ivy" since it is easy to hear which letters it consists of. Belle will probably be pronounced as Bell and then why add that extra e?Perhaps it is just I, but I think that names are to be clear with as few odd spellings as possible. That will also make it easier for your child to learn to spell his/her own name.
