What do you think of the name Memphis Belle?

I am not having a kid nor planning on one anytime soon.

I am just wondering what people think of the name Memphis Belle. I may add this to my favorite names list on my blog. Thanks!

Update:

I had no idea it was the name of a bomber plane during World War II, how interesting.

Update 2:

Update 3:

@ Courtland: I didn't like Memphis as a person name either but if I used Memphis Belle as a double barrel name instead of Belle being the middle name then I love it. I also envisioned a southern belle when I saw this name. I too was thinking big dresses and Gone With the Wind, how funny.

I am thinking of using this for a future character name but still not sure yet.

    Its a pretty combination i guess. I don't like the name Memphis for a human being. And it sounds very very southern and not that there is anything wrong with that but i just automatically vision like a southern belle during the 1900s. With the big poofy dresses. Like in Gone with the Wind lol

    Not just a bomber, but one of the only movies to ever make me cry...

    So, not so much as a name.
