Help[Opinions] Re: Isabella
in reply to a message by Lily8
I know it's terribly common, but what do you think of Isabella?
I think it is pretty, but I think the popularity killed it a bit for me. It seemed to get popular here, especially among parents who have any sort of Italian heritage. There are so many other Italian names that could have been chosen instead, but Isabella seems like the default name.
Which is your favorite nickname for it? Izzy, Bella, Isa or Belle?
I guess I like Izzy or Isa the best. I always found Bella and Belle too silly since both just mean "beautiful." I'm really not particularly fond of any of the nicknames though.
How many Isabellas do you know? I don't know any personally. Is it getting common where you live? It seems pretty popular here. I hear it when I am out and about.
Do you think its too common to be used? How about using it as a middle name? I think I would like to see it in the middle name slot for a change, thus avoiding the use of any of its nicknames. I don't think it is too common to be used, although it will probably become as dated as my name.
What do you think of my combo Noah Isabella Aimée (em-MAY)? Do you think it flows well? Do the names go together?
It flows well, but I don't think the names go together at all.
Do you prefer Isabel to Isabella? How would you spell Isabel?
I prefer Isabel to Isabella and I prefer it spelled that way. I really like the Spanish pronunciation, so that is why I prefer that spelling.
Do you prefer Isadora to Isabella? Do you pronounce Isidora and Isadora the same? Which one do you prefer?
I do prefer Isadora to Isabella because it is less common, but I prefer Isidora to Isadora because it is the original. I don't pronounce Isidora and Isadora the same.
If you prefer Isabel or Isadora, is it only because you think Isabella is too common or do you really prefer the sound?
I'm not sure. I think I'm just so tired of hearing Bella that Isabel and Isadora sound better to me. I'm not sure if that would be the case if Isabella were not popular.
