Love it. My favorite name! Very strong and comforting, and such a good rhythm! I know 2 or 3 adults named Isabella and one kid my age named Isabella, but the kid isn't very nice :(

The popularity is definitely a downside for me but it's still a lovely name that fits a girl or woman of any age. I like most forms of Isabella but if I were to use one myself I'd probably go for something less common, like Ishbel maybe. Bella is a nice nickname but given that Bella is also a fairly popular name in its own right I guess it would make Isabella feel even more popular than it already is.
Isabella sounds very elegant, refined, feminine and a bit regal, so I think that's mostly what I think when I imagine someone named Isabella. A very elegant, sophisticated and cultured woman.

Isabella is… okay. I vastly prefer Isabelle and Isabel (No thank you to Isobel - too clunky and weird), but Isabella isn’t that bad. Just a bit boring. Hell, I would even prefer Elizabeth. Bella is a cute nickname.

I really dislike it, it’s super whiny sounding, and I despise Bella which is even more whiny. I far prefer Isabel or Isobel or even Isabelle. I’ve only known annoying Isabella’s / Bella’s, they seem to take the “beauty” meaning of “Bella” to the point of vanity.

I think it's a pretty name. I don't hear it as often as I used to anymore. I think Bella is adorable. I do prefer the elegant Isabel though.

I love the name

I find it unnecessarily frilly. Isobel is my preference, then Isabel. I'd use them, but never Isabella, and I don't enjoy Bella either. I've met Isabella people; they're like other people, some nicer than others. Just what I'd expect.

It’s one of the popular names I really like. I just don’t like Izzy. I’d go for no nickname or Bella, preferably none. I like Isabelle too.

Isabella reminds me of Jane Austen books, very classic and I get images of the British countryside.

I love Isabella and I think it deserves its popularity, although it is a bit annoying because I feel like I won't want to use it now. It has such a rich, alluring, beautiful sound. It's very frilly and girly, which may not suit everyone, but I like that. I would expect an Isabella to be attractive and probably intelligent. My best friend, who happens to be named Isabella, is one of the smartest people I know.

It needs an unusual middle name for intrigue.
