Re: Isabelle
in reply to a message by Lily
I like Isabelle, which I pronounce exactly like Isabel.I think that an Isabelle born now, though, will have her name forever tied to this time. Just like a Jennifer is almost always recognizable as having been born in the late '60s-'80s. And a Linda can be tied to the '40s or '50s. Etc.

Heh, whenever I think of the fact that my mother named my sister Linda in the year 1952, I wish I could go back in time to eight years before I was born, smack Mom upside the head, and yell, "Will you PLEASE try not to have such a herd mentality?" And now, of course, Linda doesn't really like her name, her main complaint being that it dates her.Ironically, however, Linda named her daughter Heather in the year 1974. Inflicted the same thing on her daughter. Says she didn't realize how popular it was. Also needed a smack upside the head.
