I prefer Isabelle. I've always really disliked Isabella. Isabella Catherine is my favourite from your list. :)

I prefer Isabelle. Isabella Grace would be my fave combo from the list. Lily (this spelling only) is lovely, as is Madeleine. I think Lily, Madeleine and Isabelle make a nice sib set. What about Lily Charlotte, Madeleine Grace and Isabelle Ruby?

I'm not a big fan of the name in general, but if I had to pick, I'd definitely say Isabel. It looks slightly more sophisticated and a bit less trendy. I do adore nn Bella! I think Isabel Aurora is actually quite pretty. Lilly, I only love as a nn for Lillian. Madeleine is ok and the names go together fine, but they're not "wow," in my opinion.
You do seem to like fairly classic names, and I generally do too, so I'll give a few mn suggestions for Isabel.Isabel Ruth
Isabel Elaine
Isabel June
Isabel Violet
Isabel Maeve
Isabel Hester
Isabel Sofia (similar to Isabella Sophia, but I like it ever so much better)
Isabel Aria
Isabel Catarina
Isabel Catrin
Isabel Clare
Isabel Felicity
Isabel Hope
Isabel Honor
Isabel Josephine
Isabel Kate
Isabel Lavender
Isabel Louisa
Isabel Mercy

I definitely prefer Isabella over Isabelle. I've never been too fond of Isabelle, but I find Isabella to be a lovely, feminine, classy name, despite its current popularity. It used to be at the top of my list of faves, and though it has fallen, I think it's still a gorgeous choice.From your list, Isabella Grace gets my vote. Love the combo! :-) Some other suggestions:Isabella Rose
Isabella Marie
Isabella Maria
Isabella Hope
Isabella Rachel
Isabella Christine
Isabella Faith
Isabella Haven
Isabella Jasmine
Isabella Kathryn
Isabella Madelyn
Isabella Nicole
Isabella ReeseI think the name Lilly is sweet, but I prefer the spelling Lily, and overall, I prefer Lillian. Madeleine is a nice name, too, though I prefer it spelled Madelyn or the name Madelaine.Lilly, Madeleine, and Isabella make an okay sib set, but I think Lillian, Madeleine, and Isabella would make an even better one. Lilly just seems short and nicknamey next to the other two, whereas Lillian balances it out imo.

Isabelle, though I actually prefer the spelling Isabel. Of the combos, I liked Isabella Amelie and Isabella Grace.

I prefer Isabelle (actually Isabel) but Isabella is okay too. Isabella is trendy and frilly while Isabelle is more timeless.Isabella Sophia is really gorgeous, though! Isabelle Sophia would be fantastic as well.I adore Lilly but ONLY spelled Lily. Lilly looks wrong and messy to me. Madeleine is stunning said with a -line ending, and nice with a -len ending. I don't like it with a -lyn ending, though.Lilly, Madeleine and Isabelle / Isabella is a very nice sibset. I think Isabelle fits better with the sibset.

Isabella is much better to me, mostly because I love the nn Bella.Love Lilly and Madeleine! My first and third favorite names! My combos are Lilly Annabelle and Madeleine Rose.

I prefer Isabel, actually. My second choice would be Isobel. I like those forms of the name because they are less "frilly" and a little less common. WDYTOIsabel Maria
Isabel Constance
Isabel Jana
Isabel OliviaI think my favorite is Isabel Maria.

Neither!

Isabelle and Isabella are about the same to me, I'm not crazy about either one. Isabella is a bit prettier, but also more frilly.I prefer Isobel to Isabelle or Isabella.Isabella Catharine: nice flow, very normal
Isabella Sophia: would prefer Isabelle Sophia (and would love Isobel Sofia), but either works.
Isabella Aurora: would prefer Isabella Aurore. The double -a ending is too much for me on this combo.
Isabella Amelie: love Amelie, but not in this combo.
Isabella Grace: Grace is very boring to me.ideas:Isabella Avalon
Isabella Ione
Isabella Hannelore
Isabelle Theodora
Isabella Jessamine
Isabelle Clementine
Isabella Valentine
Isabelle Augustine

Isabelle, though Isabel would be a big improvement. The name is so sappy, frilly, ULTRA-girly, that I think removing the extra frilliness of extra letters helps a lot. Sorry, I am just not a fan of this name at all. It's like pink, glittery, unicorns to me. Just.... UGH.Isabel Catherine and Isabel Sophia both work as combos.

I think I prefer Isabelle (I once knew an unpleasant Isabella), but I prefer the spelling Isabel.I think Isabella Catharine and Isabella Grace work well. Isabella Aurora doesn't seem to flow well to me.I love the name Madeleine, and I think the three names would work well together.

I like Isabelle better.
I like:
Isabelle Sophia
Isabelle Aurora
Isabelle GraceI prefer Lily over Lilly. And Lily Madeleine would make a good combo, but I don't think you need all three names. I don't like 2 middle names.

Both strike me as incredibly boring, but I suppose I'd rather be an Isabelle. Less chance of being called Bella (which might as well be Ribbit Ribbit to my ears). Lilly, Isabelle, and Madeleine sound like sisters, I'll say that much. Isabelle Catharine would be fine.Array
