The -inda ending doesn't seem very catchy to me. Personally I know only one Melinda and one Linda my age (early twenties), if that suggests anything about its popularlity in my area in my generation. I think moving to other -bella names would be a more popular alternative.
Once I had a brilliant flash that Isavella might be a more tolerable alternative to Isabella, since the "v" in place of "b" thing isn't unheard of (Elizaveta still sounds 'normal' to me compared with the more usual Elizabeth, for example). It's still not my favorite, but I'm really not a fan of -bel and -bella names.
