I seem to be drawn more and more to names that begin with the letter "I", but still I don't care for it. It is becoming super overused on the current kids' generation (along with Olivia and Sophia, it's approaching "Emily-levels"). And I agree with other posters on its frilly nature - however, I don't perceive it as having nearly as many frills as, say, Cecilia or Priscilla, because that middle "b" adds a lot of weight to it.

That said, while the "-ella" ending for a four-syllable name can be a bit much, I am somewhat fond of the French variant, Isabelle. Even prettier is its Scottish counterpart, Isobel.

I've tried to like Isabel, but to me it looks incomplete. :-(
