Oddly, I just noticed that Isabella shows a similar pattern on the SSA list (off it for the same 40 year gap as Isabelle, then back in 1990), but Isabel has never been off the list, just hovering at #400-500 for those years, and a correspondingly more gradual recent rise.

I wonder why that is? Why would Isabel be used when Isabella and Isabelle were clearly not? Maybe that is the subject of another thread?
