I like it as it is, Belle, and as a NN for Isabelle. I do not care for the hyper popularity of Isabella and do not care for Bella because it reminds me too much of a dog's name. It is Nice as a dog's name but I only see it as a dog's name. Whereas Belle is of course Disney's Belle in Beauty and the Beast as well as the love interest in A Christmas Carol, etc. In the US we also associate Belle with meaning a beautiful southern woman. I do not feel it works as well with Isabel. Yes, Isabelle is the obvious choice but I think Annabelle works too though ik you don't care for that spelling I suppose.
