[Opinions] Re: Isabella
in reply to a message by Lily8
I know it's terribly common, but what do you think of Isabella?
I used to find it too frilly and fussy, but it has grown on me. I think it's pretty, but still not something I would use.
Which is your favorite nickname for it? Izzy, Bella, Isa or Belle?
I prefer it without a nickname, but if I had to choose, probably Bella or Isa.
How many Isabellas do you know? Is it getting common where you live? Do you know any older Isabellas or only young children? Any who spelled it Isabela?
I hear it quite a bit, but I can't think of anyone I actually know who has the name Isabella.
Do you think its too common to be used? How about using it as a middle name?
It's too common for me to consider. I think it would be fine to use it as a middle name though. Middle name popularity bothers me much less than first name popularity.
What do you think of my combo Noah Isabella Aimée (em-MAY)? Do you think it flows well? Do the names go together?
Noah is NMS, but I think that Isabella Aimée is pretty. Noah doesn't seem to fit.
Do you prefer Isabel to Isabella? How would you spell Isabel?
I prefer Isabel to Isabella. Isabel sounds less frilly to me. As for spelling, I prefer Isabelle.
Do you prefer Isadora to Isabella? Do you pronounce Isidora and Isadora the same? Which one do you prefer?
Isadora is lovely. I prefer it to Isabella and Isabel. I pronounce Isidora and Isadora the same, but I prefer Isadora.
If you prefer Isabel or Isadora, is it only because you think Isabella is too common or do you really prefer the sound?
I prefer the way they sound. Isadora sounds strong yet still very feminine.
