[Opinions] Re: Bella, Isabelle or Isabella?
in reply to a message by Perrine
I'd pass on all three. Bella is an obvious nn but doesn't work for me as a full name. Isabella has a rhythm I dislike, and Isabelle - where I live anyway - is pronounced exactly like Isabel, which I prefer: it's neater and tidier. I'd consider using Isabel, but I'd be much more likely to use Isobel. And, yes, no nn would be necessary; though I knew two girls at uni who were very good friends, always together, known as Bella and Iz.
