[Opinions] Re: Isabella
in reply to a message by Lily8
I like a lot of Is- names (Isadora, Ismene, Isobel, Isabel, Isolde, Isidore) but I've never really enjoyed Isabella. I don't like the Bella sound. But it's pretty.
Hate Bella. Like Izzy and Isa. Belle is okay.
I know more older Isobel / Isabel / Isabelles than Isabellas. I probably know a handful of Isabellas older than 12. They're all Italian I'm pretty sure. But yeah, a LOT of young Isabellas.
Too common here. It could be a pretty middle name.
I like Isabella in the mn spot. Aimee softens it but not huge on Noah in the combo.
Much prefer Isabel. Probably spelled Isobel. (My best friend's name.)
I love Isadora, probably just because a) I adore Isidore on a boy and b) it doesn't have the Bella sound!
Much prefer the sound. Helps that they aren't as common, but that was like Emily and Emma when I was growing up. And growing up in a VERY Italian Catholic community in Melbourne, it sounds weird to me having all these little blonde pale Bellas running around.
