Belle the main protagonist in the Lesley Pearse's novels 'Belle' and 'The Promise' is a strong, compassionate, spunky heroine for our times and despite her circumstances a great role-model. She and Belle from Beauty and the Beast have made the name for me, I love Belle!

Belle was the name of Scrooge's one-time fiancee in Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. I have always loved this name, mostly because Beauty and the Beast was my favorite movie as a kid and still ranks in my top five. I even got called Belle for a while in kindergarten as I loved to read and liked to wear a blue ribbon in my brown hair :).

In the 1946 French version of Beauty and the Beast, the main character was called Belle. I'm not sure if that was her name or a nickname (as the French for "beauty"), but she was portrayed beautifully by the actress Josette Day.

This is the pseudonym of the high class London-based call girl Belle de Jour, she published two books with Orion Books of her experiences as a working girl, maintains a blog, and in 2007 ITV created a television show based on her memoirs staring Billi Piper as Belle (which was followed by a second season, and a third on the way).
The real life Belle de Jour remains in secret, however she has said that her name was inspired by the 1928 novel Belle de jour by Joseph Kessel.

Belle Starr was actually not a famous outlaw of the old west. She was a normal woman with bad morals that eventually gained severe mental problems (probably from her years on the streets of Dallas as a prostitute). Because of her mental problems, she screamed into the streets that she was "the leader of an outlaw band". She was eventually shot in the back of the head (probably by her grown son who was also mentally deranged).
Alton B. Meyers, a down-on-his-luck writer, read her obituary and decided to write an article to sell to the papers about "the death of the outlaw queen" to make some money, and she became famous just for that.
I got my information from the book That's not in my American Histroy Book, by Thomas Ayres. If you are interested, the ISBN Number is 1-58979-107-7.
