HelpRe: Isabella
in reply to a message by Lily8
I used to be a bit 'meh' about it, coz I read so many in the BAs where I live, then I met a really awesome little girl with the name and she made me like it more. It's still not a favourite, but I like it.
I love the nn Izzy/Izzie. I had a dog called Izzy (not short for anything, but named (by me) after my toy glowworm called Izziga (a name I'm pretty sure I made up!)) so the name has good associations for me.
I know three Isabellas, all under the age of 9. I've seen lots more in the BAs for my city though.
I don't think it's necessarily too common to be used. It would put me off it, but I'm sure it wouldn't put others off it, which is the main thing. Isabella would be fine as a mn, maybe better due to its commonness.
Yup it flows well. I think Isabella Aimee (can't work out accents sorry lol) are a little odd-sounding with Noah. Partly because I always picture Noah as being an old beardy guy. Spelling it Noa would help, but I'm still not sure that Noa looks 'girly' enough to fit with Isabella and Aimee (which are both obviously feminine names, just by their endings) (I'm not saying that girly is a bad or good thing, just that it's a thing lol). Something like Zoe or Aoife or Cara would work better IMO (not necessarily one of those names, but something like that).
Yes I prefer Isabel to Isabella. It's just a little less floral. I normally prefer -bel endings to -bella, which is a little odd since I really like -tta endings. I can never decide whether I like Isobel or Isabel better, I fluctuate a lot. Today I prefer Isabel.
No I do not prefer Isadora. I find it a bit posh-sounding and OTT (I have that with all -dora names). That said I like the look of Isadora over Isidora (but I pronounce them the same way).
I think I already answered your last question :)
