I know it's terribly common, but what do you think of Isabella?
Isabella used to be a favourite of mine and I can see why it's so popular at the moment. I like it but I'm a little bored of it, I'd probably use it in the middle name slot :)
Which is your favorite nickname for it? Izzy, Bella, Isa or Belle?
Isa. It's alot prettier and less harsh sounding than Izzy and I dislike Bella due to the Twilight connotations.
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 don't know any Isabella's personally, although I have heard it A LOT on babies and younger children recently so I'd say yes, it is getting common where I live.
Do you think its too common to be used? How about using it as a middle name?
I don't think it's too common to be used, if you love it enough to use it then go for it :) Like I said before, due to the popularity I'd personally prefer to use it as a middle name :)
What do you think of my combo Noah Isabella Aimée (em-MAY)? Do you think it flows well? Do the names go together?
I'm loving Noah on girls at the moment! and Noah Isabella sounds lovely. I'm not too keen on Aimee in this case, I think Noah Isabella is enough :)
Do you prefer Isabel to Isabella? How would you spell Isabel?
I prefer Isabella, Isabel is nice but a little boring.
Do you prefer Isadora to Isabella? Do you pronounce Isidora and Isadora the same? Which one do you prefer?
I'm starting to prefer Isadora to Isabella at the moment, anyway. I pronounce Isadora, Iz-AH-dora and Isidora, Iz-E-dora. I prefer Isadora because it looks and sounds prettier :)
If you prefer Isabel or Isadora, is it only because you think Isabella is too common or do you really prefer the sound?
It's half and half really, popularity does tend to make me like names less.
