Isabelle

I dislike the other 2.

Isabelle.

I don't like the "-bella" sound on names, and Bella as a given name is incomplete. Moreover, Isabella has become spectacularly overused in the last two decades.

Isabelle isn't my favorite spelling - that "-le" seems excessive - but the name is lovely.

I like all of them but Isabella is my favorite. I like the way it flows, and I also like how it sounds bouncy and energetic yet very soothing at the same time.

Bella because of the Fireman Sam character who's my favourite in the original series. I love it when she's sad and forgettable.

Isabelle

If I had to choose between just there three, maybe Isabelle. But I prefer Isabela and Isabel.

Isabelle then Isabella, lovely classic feminine names

Isabelle (though I prefer Isabel). Just Bella is annoyingly cutesy. Isabella is okay but way overdone.

Isabelle 😁🥰

I'd pass on all three. Bella is an obvious nn but doesn't work for me as a full name. Isabella has a rhythm I dislike, and Isabelle - where I live anyway - is pronounced exactly like Isabel, which I prefer: it's neater and tidier. I'd consider using Isabel, but I'd be much more likely to use Isobel. And, yes, no nn would be necessary; though I knew two girls at uni who were very good friends, always together, known as Bella and Iz.

Isabelle is the most tasteful of the three. I like Isabella as a middle name.

Bella and I have no idea why.

Isabel nn Bella. But since I can't, I'll go with Isabelle. Bella is unsubstantial as a full name.

Honestly, I love Isabelle.
But reality... well, it bites. So, it's either Isabel or Isabella.

And I'd pick Isabella. This spelling is less "unusual". At least my family would be, let's say, more OK with that.
