Re: Isabelle
in reply to a message by Flora
General thoughts on the name, I don't like it at all. I find it heavy and clunky. I don't understand when people say that Isabelle or Isabella are "pretty pretty princess" because if I thought they were "pretty pretty princess" I would like them, as I like "pretty pretty princess" names. But a pretty pretty princess is the last thing I see in my mind's eye when I hear Isabelle or Isabella. Really not getting why Isabella is so popular. I know you asked about Isabelle and not Isabella, but to me they are basically one and the same so what goes for one goes for the other.

I understand your sentiment.What would you consider to be "pretty pretty princess" names?I like it more for the medieval, queenly connection, that's why I ask.

Victoria, Alexandra, Tatiana, Anastasia, Angelique, Octavia. And now I do see how Isabella fits into them in style, but it still just doesn't seem that way to me! Purely subjective reaction, of course.

I don't actually find those names 'pretty pretty princess' names at aLl, with the exception of Angelique.
I find them more stately/queenly than princessy.
